To de-energize a GIS, shall the isolator switch be opened first followed by the opening of the circuit breaker?
The sequence of operations in disconnecting Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) is critical to ensure safety and prevent damage to the equipment. Generally, the correct order when disconnecting the power supply in a GIS involves first opening the circuit breaker and then operating the disconnector (also known as an isolator). Here is a detailed explanation:Correct Operational Sequence Open the Circuit Breaker The circuit breaker is the primary device used to interrupt the load current. Before disco
