Consider These Investment Decision Advantages
Questions Answers
Can the circuit breaker interrupt if
there is a leak and no SF6 gas is
available?
Yes, the vacuum interrupters are
independent of the SF6 gas and all the
interruption occurs inside the vacuum
interrupters. SF6 gas is only used for
insulation.
What is the SF6 leakage rate in
Siemens MV GIS 8DA/B?
The low leakage rate is possible as
the normal pressure is 1.5 bar (22
psig) or less, and the SF6 gas is used
only for insulation, not for interruption.
Leakage is below 0.1% per year.

FAQs
Questions Answers
Is SF6 a greenhouse gas“GHG”? Yes, SF6 is a GHG with atmospheric
lifetime of 3,200 years.
Are there any taxes applicable on use
of SF6 gas in MV switchgear or any
regulatory requirements?
No, users are required to report
annually SF6 volume if their inventory
exceeds 17,800 lbs at any time.
How do I quantify 17,800 lbs of SF6
gas in terms of number of sections?
8DA10 ~ 2,700 sections
8DB10 ~ 1,400 sections
What is the percentage ofemissions
of SF6 gas from T&D equipments
compare to the total emissions of all
the gases in the U.S.?
In 2013, total emissions of all GHG
reported was 5,791.2 MMT CO2
equivalent. Emissions from T&D

• Drawout type construction, where
circuit isolation is achieved by
opening the circuit breaker and
then racking it to the test or
disconnect position.
• No built-in circuit grounding
capability. Grounding of load
circuit requires drawout ground
and test device.
MV GIS
• Fixed-mounted circuit breakers
with interlocked isolation switch
and grounding switch. Isolation
meets NEC visible disconnect

MV GIS Advantages - Maintenance
MV AIS
Required latest after 5 years of service:
• Switch off of lines, feeders and busbars
• Grounding
• All circuit breakers in testposition
• Test function of circuit breakers andand all other
switching devices
• Remove the drawout circuit breaker andremove
covers partly to access to busbars and cable
sections
• Clean the sections and all insulation, and check all
bolted connections
• Lubricate all bearings and surfaces; check panel
function and put switchgear back intoservice
Example:
Estimated time per section: 4 hours
For a 20-section lineup 80 working hours,
respective to 8 working days for maintenance
Average $180 per person per hour, i.e., $14,400
for a 20-section lineup
MV GIS
• Requires minimal maintenance
• Visual inspection: 5 years
• Check gas-pressure gauges
• General visual survey.
Example:
For the 20-section lineup, potential savings $14,400.
After 30 years, total savings $86,400
Page 53
MV GIS Advantages - Availability
MV AIS
• During maintenance, switchgear is out of
service.
• Provisions for alternative supply circuits
must exist.
• Switching procedures must be followed.
• After maintenance, original conditions need
to be re-established.
Risks:
• Switching failures.
• Network disturbances may occur.
• Human errors, tools left in equipment, loose
connections, loose bolts, missing covers,
etc.
Therefore, the risk of failures inside the
switchgear (including potential for arc
fault) may be higher.
MV GIS
• Almost maintenance free.
• No human errors can occur due to
hermetically- sealed isolation.
• Insulation cannot be contaminated.
Peace of mind
Page 54
MV GIS Advantages – Environmental Aspects
MV AIS
• Influence of dust, humidity and vermin to active
parts as busbars, breakers, cableconnections:
• Need of maintenance, cleaning ofinsulation
• Condensation – potential for partial
discharges and damage to insulation.
• Need to eliminate potential for verminin
switchgear
• Reduction in dielectric withstand (hipot and
impulse) for high altitudes
Example: 27 kV AIS at altitude of 6,562 ft (2,000 m)
needs rated insulation level of 138 kV BIL to provide
125 kV BIL at 6,562 ft (2,000 m). Since this cannot be
reached with 27 kV AIS, 38 kV AIS is required, which
means higher costs.
Additional costs and control are necessary.
MV GIS
• No environmental influences (flooding exception)
due to maintenance-free, hermetically sealed (HV)
switchgear.
• No influence of insulation level due to altitude.
Example:
Peace of mind and cost savings.

MV GIS Advantages - Dimensions
MV AIS
For 27 kV, 2,000 A, 25 kA, AIS dimensions:
• Width: 3.0 ft (.91 m)
• Depth: 8.0 ft (2.4 m)
Floor space per section is equal to 24.0 ft²
(2.2 m2)
Example:
20-section lineup, area required:
• 480.0 ft² without required rear aisle
• 840.0 ft² with NEC clear working space in
rear.
MV GIS
For 27 kV, 2,000 A, 25 kA GIS dimensions:
• Width: 1.97 ft (.6 m)
• Depth: 5.3 ft (1.62 m)
Floor space per section is equal to 10.4 ft²
(1.0 m2) and no working space required at
rear
Example:
20-section lineup, area required:
• 209.0 ft² and no rear aisle required.

MV GIS Advantages – 150 kV BIL
MV AIS
Due to the requirement of 150 kV BIL at
27 kV, the switchgear selection should be
upgraded to the next voltage level.
This BIL value cannot be reached with
typical 27 kV switchgear.
Therefore, 38kV switchgear is required,
which means higher costs for the
customer:
• Higher equipment costs
• Much higher costs for real estate.
MV GIS
• Same design & footprint for voltages up to
40.5 kV
• No environmental influences due to
maintenance -free, hermetically-sealed
(HV portion) switchgear.
Cost savings.

MV GIS Advantages – Spare Parts
MV AIS
For an estimated lifetime of 30 years, spares
needed.
•Lubricants
•Screws
•Bolts
•Nuts
•Contact fingers for draw out unit
•Isolators
•Bushings
Therefore additional cost for spares,
storage , handling, installation of parts,
staff for exchange the parts incurred.
MV GIS
Few small secondary parts recommended.
Cost savings due to minimal cost of
spares, no additional storage room,
handling cost and cost of staff.

  • 36. Questions Answers Can the circuit breaker interrupt if there is a leak and no SF6 gas is available? Yes, the vacuum interrupters are independent of the SF6 gas and all the interruption occurs inside the vacuum interrupters. SF6 gas is only used for insulation. What is the SF6 leakage rate in Siemens MV GIS 8DA/B? The low leakage rate is possible as the normal pressure is 1.5 bar (22 psig) or less, and the SF6 gas is used only for insulation, not for interruption. Leakage is below 0.1% per year.

MV GIS Advantages - Maintenance MV AIS Required latest after 5 years of service: • Switch off of lines, feeders and busbars • Grounding • All circuit breakers in testposition • Test function of circuit breakers andand all other switching devices • Remove the drawout circuit breaker andremove covers partly to access to busbars and cable sections • Clean the sections and all insulation, and check all bolted connections • Lubricate all bearings and surfaces; check panel function and put switchgear back intoservice Example: Estimated time per section: 4 hours For a 20-section lineup 80 working hours, respective to 8 working days for maintenance Average $180 per person per hour, i.e., $14,400 for a 20-section lineup MV GIS • Requires minimal maintenance • Visual inspection: 5 years • Check gas-pressure gauges • General visual survey. Example: For the 20-section lineup, potential savings $14,400. After 30 years, total savings $86,400 Page 53
  • 54. MV GIS Advantages - Availability MV AIS • During maintenance, switchgear is out of service. • Provisions for alternative supply circuits must exist. • Switching procedures must be followed. • After maintenance, original conditions need to be re-established. Risks: • Switching failures. • Network disturbances may occur. • Human errors, tools left in equipment, loose connections, loose bolts, missing covers, etc. Therefore, the risk of failures inside the switchgear (including potential for arc fault) may be higher. MV GIS • Almost maintenance free. • No human errors can occur due to hermetically- sealed isolation. • Insulation cannot be contaminated. Peace of mind Page 54
  • 55. MV GIS Advantages – Environmental Aspects MV AIS • Influence of dust, humidity and vermin to active parts as busbars, breakers, cableconnections: • Need of maintenance, cleaning ofinsulation • Condensation – potential for partial discharges and damage to insulation. • Need to eliminate potential for verminin switchgear • Reduction in dielectric withstand (hipot and impulse) for high altitudes Example: 27 kV AIS at altitude of 6,562 ft (2,000 m) needs rated insulation level of 138 kV BIL to provide 125 kV BIL at 6,562 ft (2,000 m). Since this cannot be reached with 27 kV AIS, 38 kV AIS is required, which means higher costs. Additional costs and control are necessary. MV GIS • No environmental influences (flooding exception) due to maintenance-free, hermetically sealed (HV) switchgear. • No influence of insulation level due to altitude.
