Delivery

Figure 1.4-1 represents a typical double busbar feeder. The loads result from static
and dynamic forces due to bay weight and circuit breaker operation.
For each individual layout the mechanical forces are calculated and a corresponding
drawing is made.

Static Loads
The loads below are calculated per GIS base frame.

1 busbar without voltage transformer and local control cubicle

2 x 10 kN

additional load for local control cubicle

2 x 1.5 kN

additional load for voltage transformer

2 x 2.5 kN

Dynamic Loads
The dynamic loads are measured in a normal industrial building.

The dynamic loads are evenly distributed on the load points 2 . The forces upwards
(4 x 8 kN) are reduced by the weight of the bay.

Installation
The bay is delivered with a base frame. The base frame will be welded on a
straightening iron (C-rail), which is integrated in the concrete floor.
If there is no iron structure the GIS supports are to be mounted with chemical anchors
M12 x 160 mm or equivalent.
Max. tensile load per anchor in concrete with minimum stability B25 / DIN 1045 is
10 kN. Dowel depth: 110 mm.

1.4.2 Building Requirements and Dimensions

Figure 1.4-1 and Figure 1.4-3 show the recommended dimensions for a GIS in double
busbar layout. Other layouts may require smaller or larger dimensions.
The room tolerances and planeness should be equal or better than DIN 18202 which
means:

Factors to be considered for building dimensions:

S

Existing building or other installed equipment

Type of HV connections: Cable, transformer SF6 gas-to-oil bushing or

SF6-air bushing

High voltage cable data, type and outlet direction

Location of GIS local control cabinets

Type of lifting device

The recommended lifting capacity (depending on the weight of heaviest transport unit)
is 30 kN, service crane: 10 kN.
For vertical connection the cable basement normally has a height of 2 m.

Figure 1.4-3: Plan View

Figure 1.4-3 shows a 8-bay arrangement. The standard width of a bay is 1 m.

The building dimensions can be easily determined based on the number of bays.
For a convenient and fast HV-cable sealing end assembly, openings for the cables
made 0.5 m x 0.7 m are recommended, see Figure 1.4-1. For special cases contact
ABB.
The large front door (left side in Figure 1.4-3) is the equipment access door
(width x height = 3 m x 3 m). The second door is a standard access door which
is provided for convenience and safety.
