Legal Central Ministry of Power Electricity Act, 2003

Clarification regarding GIS and Hybrid Switchgear type test validity for the Distribution sector

08-Apr-2024 | NA

Central Electricity Authority has issued an Office Memorandum on Revision of Type Test Validity Guidelines for Major Equipment in Power Sector, effective from 8th April, 2024.

Key highlight are as following:

1. The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has revised the Guidelines for the Type Tests Validity for Major Equipment of Power Sector, 2022, which supersede the previous guidelines published in 2020.
2. The revised guidelines specify a type test validity of 15 years for Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) and Hybrid Switchgear in the transmission system (66 kV and above) and 5 years for the distribution system (33 kV and below).
3. Despite the clarity in validity periods for GIS and Hybrid Switchgear in the transmission system, there is ambiguity regarding their validity in the distribution sector (33 kV and below) due to a lack of mention in the revised guidelines.
4. The CEA has received various representations seeking clarification on the type test validity for GIS and Hybrid Switchgear under the distribution sector.
5. Considering the complexities arising from different categorizations of equipment based on ownership and operational areas of utilities, the competent authority has decided to maintain uniformity in type test validity across the complete power sector, including generation, transmission, and distribution. Hence, the type test validity for GIS and Hybrid Switchgear for the entire power sector is set at 15 years.

For further details, refer to the attached document or visit the official website of the Central Electricity Authority.
