GIS is composed of circuit breaker, isolation switch, grounding switch, transformer, lightning arr ester, bus, connecting piece and outgoing terminal, etc. All these equipment or components are sealed in the case of metal grounding and filled with SF6 insulating gas with certain pressure inside.

5083 aluminum sheet

The advantages of using 5083 aluminum sheet for GIS shell
1. Small eddy current loss
2. Light weight
3. Strong corrosion resistance

With high Mg content, the 5083 aluminum plate has good strength, corrosion resistance and machinability in non-heat treatable alloy. The anodized surface is beautiful. Excellent performance of arc welding. The main alloy element in 5083 alloy is Mg, which has good corrosion resistance, weldability and moderate strength. Excellent corrosion resistance enables the 5083 aluminum plate to be widely used for maritime purposes such as ships, automobile, aircraft welding parts, subway light rail, pressure vessels requiring strict fire protection (such as liquid tanks, refrigerated vehicles, refrigerated containers), refrigeration units, TV towers, drilling equipment, transportation equipment, missile parts, armor, etc.
