Essentials at a glance
The enhanced 8DN8 needs 15% SF6 less compared to its

Environmental-friendly predecessors, which makes it one of the most eco-friendly GIS at
170kV worldwide.
The enhanced 8DN8 GIS offers the most compact design at
Compactness improved accessibility and a greater variety in substation
configurations (e.g.1.5 CB, H- and Ring).
The fixed bay concept of the enhanced 8DN8 leads to an improved
Robustness seismic resistance of 0.5g (IEC62271-207) without additional
measures.
The enhanced 8DN8 offers a very modular design and can be used
Indoor and outdoor application for indoor and outdoor applications from -30°C to +40°C at
50/60Hz.
Highest Quality Compliance with the extended mechanical endurance class M2.
and Reliability 10,000 mechanical operations (CB, DS).
Accessibility The enhanced 8DN8 counts with accessibility to all important devices
Enhanced 8DN8 is compatible with all previously installed Siemens

Adapter modules
GIS of the same voltage level.
