Meet the demands for energy distribution, while optimizing space
Design and Efficiency
Gas Insulated Switchgears (GIS) were developed to address the limitations of air and oil insulated power systems. GIS requires only 10% of the clearance specified for phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground for all equipment. This compact design makes GIS an efficient solution for modern power distribution needs.
Safety and Reliability
GIS is widely regarded as safer and more reliable compared to air or oil insulated systems. The enclosed design reduces the risk of faults and enhances operational safety. Additionally, GIS requires less maintenance, contributing to its reliability and long-term performance in power distribution networks.
Application and Adoption
Due to its advantages, GIS has become the preferred choice in complex power distribution grids. It is especially suitable for grids near populated centers, those constrained by natural boundaries, or those in close proximity to existing power distribution networks. GIS's compact and efficient design makes it ideal for these challenging environments.
Our decades of experience, diversity of projects and safety record make us GIS-experts
The Mall of San Juan, Barrio Martin Peña, Palo Seco Power Plant, Covadonga Substation, Aguas Buenas, Barrio Piña Substation, these are a just a few of the over a dozen gas insulated switchgear projects LORD has installed in Puerto Rico alone. With over three decades of experience working with Gas Insulated Switchgears and substations (GIS), LORD brings to any project a depth of expert knowledge that sets us apart among electrical contractors.
