ABB India announced after market hours yesterday, 2 December 2014, that it has designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned a 1,200-kilovolt (kV) circuit breaker the highest AC voltage level in the world. Once the 1200 kV ultrahigh-voltage switchgear is fully operational, it will have a switching capacity of 10,400 megawatts - a switch capable of turning 'ON' or 'OFF' the electricity generated by 10 large power plants or the combined average annual electrical load of Switzerland and Denmark, within milliseconds. The circuit breaker is deployed at the 1,200 kV national test station constructed by Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL), India's central transmission utility, at Bina in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Alongside the circuit breaker, the state-of-the-art hybrid switchgear solution comprises a gas-insulated disconnector, current transformers and monitoring and diagnostic equipment. The solution requires only half of the space that would be needed for one with conventional air-insulated designs. The configuration also protects critical components from environmental exposure and makes it more resilient against earthquakes. India is adding substantial power generation capacity to meet growing demand, which in turn requires an efficient and reliable transmission and distribution infrastructure to deliver the electricity to consumers. Transmitting power at higher voltages increases the amount of electricity that can be transported along a line with significantly lowers transmission losses, and at the same time saves space and reduces environmental impact. These are some of the considerations which have prompted India to develop a 1,200-kV transmission system. In a power system, switchgear is used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment to ensure the reliability of the electricity supply. ABB has over 80 years' experience in switching technology and has pioneered several innovations over the years.
