The full form of GIS pipe, in the context provided, refers to a component within a Gas Insulated Substation.
Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) Components
A Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) is a compact substation that uses a high-pressure gas, typically SF6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride), as the insulating medium. According to the provided reference, a key structural element of a GIS is the use of pipes:
-
GIS Components: These substations consist of active parts at high voltage potential.
-
Pipes: These active parts are housed within aluminium alloy pipes.
-
Insulation: These pipes are filled with insulating gas (like SF6) and are maintained at earth potential. Epoxide resin insulators hold the high-voltage components in the center of the pipes.
In summary, the "GIS pipe" refers to the aluminum alloy pipes that enclose the high-voltage components and contain the insulating gas within a Gas Insulated Substation.
