Improvements of the Second Generation GIL

Overall cost reduction of > 50% compared to first generation GIL by:

Standardization of components:Modular design for tailor-made installations

Improvements of assembly and laying procedure-Pipeline laying technique for short installation time-Automated orbital welding machine for high quality welds-Elastic bending of tubes to follow the route

Reduction of SF6 content to 20%Cost reduction and environmental protection by usingnitrogen as a majority gas
