The above study shows that the insulation levels selected for 380 kV and 115 kV GIS
equipment and 380/115 kV Power Transformer are in order. Protection Level offered fofor the
surge arrestors were reviewed and protection ratios were calculated for Lightning Impulse and

levels of the Surge Arrestors and Insulation Levels of the equipment, thereby implying that the
GIS equipments are well protected.
