What is GIS Testing and Commissioning?

GIS testing and commissioning refer to a series of procedures designed to validate the performance, safety, and reliability of Gas-Insulated Switchgear systems. These processes are integral to:

  • Preventing system failures
  • Enhancing operational efficiency
  • Ensuring compliance with safety standards

“Every GIS system undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee seamless energy distribution.”


Why is GIS Testing and Commissioning Important?

Without proper testing, even minor faults in a GIS can escalate into major disruptions. Key reasons include:

  1. Safety Assurance: Protects personnel and equipment.
  2. Reliability: Ensures consistent energy flow.
  3. Cost Efficiency: Reduces the likelihood of expensive downtime.
  4. Regulatory Compliance: Meets stringent industrial and governmental standards.

The GIS Testing and Commissioning Process

1. Pre-Installation Checks

Before GIS installation, we evaluate:

  • Site readiness
  • Availability of essential tools like Dilo SF6 analyzer
  • Equipment from the GIS portfolio

2. SF6 Gas Work

SF6 gas is a key component of GIS systems. We ensure:

  • Gas purity testing using advanced SF6 analyzers
  • Leakage checks to avoid environmental impacts
  • Gas filling in compliance with safety protocols

3. Electrical Testing

This phase validates the electrical integrity of the GIS, including:

  • High-voltage tests
  • Insulation resistance tests
  • Circuit breaker performance checks

4. Functional Testing

We simulate real-world scenarios to test:

  • Interlocks and safety mechanisms
  • Communication with other systems
  • Load-bearing capacity

5. Final Commissioning

Once testing is complete, we integrate the GIS into the network, ensuring it’s ready for operational use.
