Switzerland, Zurich: ABB has designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned a new hybrid switchgear solution with a 1,200 kV circuit breaker – the highest AC voltage level in the world.
It is deployed at the national test station constructed by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL), India’s central transmission utility, at Bina in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
The new hybrid switchgear solution comprises current transformers, a gas-insulated disconnector, and monitoring and diagnostic equipment. Once the 1200 kV ultra high-voltage switchgear is fully operational, it will have a switching capacity of 10,400 MW.
“PGCIL is fully engaged in developing a robust and integrated national grid along with reliable partners in technology like ABB. This development takes us a step further in the development of our ultra high-voltage transmission network.” said R N Nayak, Chairman and Managing Director of PGCIL.
