GE Grid Solutions HYpact Hybrid Compact Switchgear Assembly

HYpact Hybrid compact switchgear assembly HYpact is a hybrid compact switchgear assembly that typically consists of circuit breakers, disconnectors, and earthing switches located in a common gas tank. Current and voltage transformers can be added and the standard SF6 to air bushings can be replaced with cable connectors. Its modular design allows for a large variety of different layout configurations and enables a more economical substation design. HYpact is well suited for heavily polluted environments and is the high-performing choice in regions exposed to seismic activity. Its compact design with low center-of-gravity is ideal for withstanding seismic acceleration, as proven by shaking table tests and finite elements method simulations. HYpact customers also benefit from long maintence-free periods with reduced exposure to environmental influences and a low number of bushings and moveable contacts.
