The experience gained by American Electric Power Service Corp during the design, construction, and operation of the worlds first 765-kV gas-insulated substation proves the effectiveness of this design. Although the cost effectiveness of SF/sub 6/ insulated design increases as the voltage level increases, the combined cost of the 765-kV station and its associated 138-kV station was greater than the cost of equivalent air-insulated substations.
