  • Sulfur Hexafluoride SF 6
    2008 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting - Conversion and Delivery of Electrical Energy in the 21st Century, 2008
    Co-Authors: M. Etter, Hermann Koch
    Abstract:

    This article deals with the Sulfur Hexafluoride in high voltage applications for electrical insulation and electrical arc distinguishing when circuit breakers, ground switches, and disconnectors are operated. Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic and non flammable gas. It is an extremely stable gas with high dielectric strength and excellent arc quenching properties making it an ideal for use in gas insulated substations (GIS). Virtually all substations being built today use SF6for circuit breakers and every GIS station relies on SF6 for insulation. At the same time, SF6 has been identified as a potent greenhouse gas, 22,500 times more effective at trapping infra-red radiation than an equivalent amount of CO2. There are no statutory requirements in the U.S. limiting the usage of SF6, but there are voluntary governments and private corporate program initiatives to better manage SF6 with the aim of reducing emissions.

  • Experimental research on sealing performance of Sulfur Hexafluoride electrical equipment under low-temperature environment
    IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
    Co-Authors: R Zhang, Z. Q. Jiang, X. C. Zhu, Z. W. Gao, H. D. Zhang, Jian Zhang
    Abstract:

    It is discovered that the sealing performance of the Sulfur Hexafluoride electrical equipment worsens under low temperature, but research in the aspect is reported rarely when corresponding measures are adopted for improving the sealing performance of electrical equipment. Therefore, sealing and leakage test of Sulfur Hexafluoride electrical equipment was implemented under low-temperature environment according to the analysis on gas sealing methods of Sulfur Hexafluoride electrical equipment. Causes of gas leakage of Sulfur Hexafluoride electrical equipment under low temperature environment were analyzed according to test results. Effective measures were proposed for improving the gas sealing performance of the equipment, thereby providing valuable reference for gas sealing design, installation, operation maintenance and failure analysis of Sulfur Hexafluoride electrical equipment under low - temperature environment.
