The circuit-breaker
ELK-04 circuit-breakers are equipped with self-blast
interrupters, with one interrupter unit per pole. They require
minimum maintenance and a low amount of switching energy
allowing for compact and reliable operating mechanisms to be
used. The breaker enclosure is designed for maximum layout
flexibility and compactness.
Connection components
In addition to the essential functional modules, our Integrated
GIS can be fitted with bushings for connection to overhead
lines, cable connectors or transformer direct connections.

H busbar arrangement
The H busbar arrangement is often used to supply industrial
enterprises or smaller regions. With respect to supply reliability
two feeding lines and two step-down transformers are optimal.
The station can be operated as a double-feed station, with
closed cross connection as a ring substation as well. If a
subsequent extension of the substation is under consideration, a
layout with single busbar and section coupling is selected. Later,
this substation can be upgraded to double busbar arrangement
and bus coupling. When further extensions are not planned, the
compact version without busbar is selected.

Housing units
Housing design
The housing top and the base frame are bolted to each
other, enabling the substation components to be installed
unhindered before shipping final unit assembly. Single walls
can be removed or the enclosure can be raised to gain easy
and quick access to the equipment during maintenance
work. Access doors are installed according to customer
requirements.
Foundations
Transportation
The housing units are very well suited for all types of long
distance transportation by ship, air or road. The units are
also furnished with removable and standardized lifting aids to
facilitate shipping and handling in harbor.
Energize
After a very short installation time the self-contained GIS
substation is ready to be energized and becomes operational.
Use phase
Online monitoring for preventive maintenance
The low operating energies used by ABBs modern
interrupters combined with the efficient mechanical spring
drives result in lower auxiliary power supply consumption
Type tested for 0.1 percent SF6 gas leakage rate per year
Minimized SF6 gas leakage rates due to well proven sealing
systems
End of life phase
Use of material which is easy to recycle or dispose
Improved maintenance processes that avoid the release of
gases and oil
Improved recycling and disposal through clear declarations
adjusted to different global boundary conditions
Manufacturing phase
Continuous improvement in product design resulted in a
more compact footprint that uses less aluminum and other
metals
Low thermal losses due to innovative designs and material
choices
Full system shipment due to self-contained design reduces
the environmental impact of transportation dramatically
ABBs factory is ISO 14001 certified for environment best
practices and we also conduct regular environment audits
at our suppliers facilities
