1 min readSep 01, 2016Sulphur hexafluoride (SF 6) is a non-toxic, odourless gas with unique electrical properties. For over 50 years, it has been used in high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), where its excellent dielectric and arc-quenching properties make it an ideal insulating gas for medium- and high-voltage equipment. However, when the gas decomposes, it forms decomposition products that are

Detection of gas decomposition products is widely used for condition diagnosis of SF6-insulated equipment because of its anti-electromagnetic-interference ability and high sensitivity.

6 Decomposition and Contamination • Reactive decomposition byproducts form when SF 6 is exposed to: 1. spark discharges, 2. partial discharges, 3. switching arcs, and 4. failure arcing • Decomposition byproducts can take the form of gas or powders • Other types of contaminants can include moisture and air (from handling or leakage),

Decomposition Characteristics. Abstract: This study mainly aims to obtain the decomposition characteristics of SF6 under various degrees of negative partial discharge (PD) and establish a method for evaluating the internal PD fault for gas-insulated equipment (GIE). Thus, metal protrusion, a frequent insulation defect in DC GIE, was used in the study of PD characteristics from the initial discharge toCited by: 8

Do not intentionally “sniff” SF 6 to check for a faulted condition SF 6 must be reclaimed –Do not vent to the atmosphere Moisture in SF 6 combined with switching could produce harmful acids –Do perform routine moisture measurements.

Extant studies show that the components and formation rates of SF 6 decomposition products due to different types of insulation defects are related to the insulation defect type and its severity. 7, 8 The detection of SF 6 decomposition products can help in assessment of the type and severity of insulation defects.

Gases for electrical insulation are essential for the operation of electric power equipment. This Review gives a brief history of gaseous insulation that involved the emergence of the most potent industrial greenhouse gas known today, namely sulfur hexafluoride. SF6 paved the way to space-saving equipment for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Its ever-rising usage in the

Decomposition may occur if there is an electric arc, spark or other electrical discharge within it. The quantity of SF 6 decomposition products within an item of equipment depends on the cumulative arc energy that has been supplied to it. A load-break switch is likely to contain much smaller quantities
