Safety
It is completely single-phase insulated and surrounded by
earthed aluminium enclosure. The gas compartments of all
three phases are connected internally without any external gas
piping utilizing three individual insulators and are protected
with an over-pressure release device each.
Reliability
All live parts are enclosed and effectively protect the insulation
system against negative external influences. The amount of
moving parts and number of drives are reduced to a minimum.
Availability
World-wide service organization, together with a well adapted
maintenance concept, assures shortest down time for maintenance and repair.
Long-life cycles
Top-quality materials and workmanship guarantee maximum
operating time with a minimum of service and maintenance.
Compactness
The ELK-14 range is designed so well that it requires up to
40% less space than previous GIS systems, which significantly
reduces building costs.
Standardization
ELK-14 offers standardized solutions for GIS as well as for
local control, thus enabling shortest possible delivery time and
overall project lead time covering customers requirements.
Economy
Use of aluminium enclosures reduces the weight of the system,
cutting the cost of foundations and load-bearing components.
Efficiency
Prefabrication of complete bays including local control cubicle
and stringent quality control at our own factory simplifies final
installation and commissioning, and reduces project realization
time to a minimum.
Environmental friendliness
The small compact design results in major reduction of SF6gas. Significant reduction of flanges and sealed connections
reduces possible leakage sources. Just as the completely factory tested and assembled bay cuts handling on site, minimizing SF6-handling losses. This all detracts SF6-gas losses to an
absolute minimum.
Containerized shipment of complete bays reduces the use of
packing material, mainly wooden boxes and together with the
minimized in transportation volume and weight, ELK-14 makes
a further big step to improve its overall carbon footprint.

All operating devices and junction boxes for measuring devices are centralized in the front of the local control cubicle. This
ensures an ease of maintenance with minimized dimensions
not encountered before and the GIS can be readily accommodated in even smaller buildings.
A further improvement with regard to compactness was realized with the ELK-14 for 245 kV. An additional advantage are
the completely factory tested and shipped bays. The customer benefits from risk minimization during installation and
commissioning. In the factory tested control cubicles together
with the primary equipment reduces the commissioning effort.
Both are characterized by a high level of standardization.

The concept
Improved performance with fast erection in less space. For
main circuits and control & protection. Thats what ABBs
ELK-14 technology so revolutionary in making. And because
it needs up to 40% less space and 60% less installation time.
These drastically cuts your construction costs, your project
load time and saves you ope rating costs at the same time.
Reduced flange connections and the total numbers of flanges
in combination with the reduction of total gas volume up to
60% is a further improvement towards environmental friendliness.
The approach
Fewer components. Complete bay assembly in the factory.
Greater efficiency. Plus another major benefit of the improved
GIS generation from ABB: the state-of-the-art control & protection technology is open and completely integrated. Which
increases the range of possible applications and makes it
easier to operate.
The outlook
Maximum system security with a minimum of maintenance.
Another quality feature of the environment-friendly ELK-14
system. And because its modular, it can be ext ended or
adapted at any time to meet your present and future requirements.

The circuit-breaker
The single-phase encapsulated, 3-phase circuit-breaker using
SF6-gas for insulation and quenching purposes, has been
continuously developed and improved. Extensive operating
experiences as well as continuous research and development activities are the basis when anticipating future market
requirements.
Breaker Design
Each circuit-breaker comprises three single-phase metal-enclosed breaker poles. Each pole consists of a hydro-mechanical operating mechanism, the interrupter column with one
interrupting chamber and the enclosure with the basic support
structure. In case of an overhaul, the interrupter column can
easily be removed from the enclosure.

Reliable switching capacity
High capacity for carrying rated and short-circuit currents

interruption

Working principle
A hydraulic pump moves oil from the low-pressure reservoir to
the high-pressure side of the energy storage piston, connected to the disc springs. The output piston, which is connected
to the operating rod of the circuit-breaker column, is controlled by a change-over valve.
For opening, it switches hydraulically to the open position
after the trip coil is actuated for opening the breaker and connects the bottom side of the output piston with the low-pressure reservoir. The circuit-breaker moves than to open position where it will be retained due to the hydraulic pressure.
For closing the circuit-breaker, the change-over valve connects the bottom side of the output piston to the high-pressure reservoir after actuation of the closing coil. Now, both
sides of the output piston are connected to the high pressure
and the circuit-breaker is moving to its closed position due to
the differential pressure principle.
The hydro-mechanical operating mechanism can either be
equipped for single-pole operation or three-pole operation.
The disconnector
The disconnector is based on a modular design. There are
two variants - an independent one and one that is part of the
busbar module. This busbar module is usually equipped with
an expansion element, which guarantees a direct coupling of
every kind of bay type via a cinematic chain.
Each pole of the disconnector is surrounded by an aluminium
enclosure. The conductor of each phase is supported and
insulated by a single-phase insulator. All three phases have a
common gas compartment in order to avoid unnecessary gas
connections and external gas piping.
The operating mechanism is of modular design, which enables highest service friendliness and rapid replacement of
complete drive modules. In addition, the complete busbar
module can be replaced in one step ensuring minimized time
for repair.
