Mar 31, 2020SF 6 is a colourless, odourless, non-toxic gas which is five times denser than air. It has been increasingly deployed in circuit breakers and switchgear in a global array of power stations, wind turbines and electrical sub-stations, to quench arcs and stop short circuits. Often, it replaced oil-filled circuit breakers which contained harmful PCBs.

May 30, 2019ABB’s AirPlus™ technology is a revolutionary technology from ABB, and an alternative to sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6) gas. Four years ago, at CIRED 2015 in Lyon, France, ABB announced the world’s first eco-efficient AirPlus switchgear at the Oerlikon substation of Swiss utility ewz.

switchgear is also rising. Thus, the search for alternative gases to SF 6 for reduced environmental impact continues. A new fluoroketone-based gas mixture ABB has achieved a recent breakthrough with a new alternative to SF 6 by commissioning the world’s first high- and medium-voltage pilot gas-insulated

Mar 20, 2018Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6), which is the preferred gas for use in gas-insulated switchgear (circuit breakers, disconnect switches, etc. for high-voltage electrical circuits), has a very high global warming potential, and there is a large international effort to find alternative gases.

Sulfur hexafluoride is a commonly used insulator in electricity transmission and distribution equipment. Because of its high global warming potential (GWP), CARB adopted the Regulation for Reducing Sulfur Hexafluoride Emissions from Gas Insulated Switchgear in 2010. As new technologies using lower or zero GWP insulators emerge, CARB staff are proposing to amend the current regulation to

of switchgear installations. Title picture SF 6 has proven its worth as an insulating medium in electrical switchgear. However, the global warming implications of SF 6 are coming under scrutiny. ABB has now developed an alternative that in certain cases comes close to the performance of SF 6. Shown is high-voltage GIS. However, SF 6 is a greenhouse gas and

This paper deals with the validation steps of alternative gases to SF6 for high and medium voltage switchgear applications. It is focused on technical properties of the potential candidates.

Switchgear (Figure 6) is a general term covering primary switching and interrupting devices together with its control and regulating equipment. Power switchgear includes breakers, disconnect switches, main bus conductors, interconnecting wiring, support structures with insulators, enclosures, and secondary devices for monitoring and control.

At this years Hannover Messe, Siemens will present another medium-voltage switchgear that doesnt require sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as the insulating gas: the 8DAB 12. The system uses clean air consisting only of the natural constituents of ambient air as the insulating gas.

The Siemens range of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), for rated voltages from 72.5 kV up to 550 kV, is an extremely successful product concept. Since its introduction back in 1968, Siemens has installed switch fields in all climatic zones of the earth, recording over 420,000 years of operation since.

The portfolio includes GIS solutions from 60 to 800 kV, along with hybrid, mobile and digital GIS solutions, Gas-Insulated lines and other secondary products to maximize switchgear and network operation, including spring-operated mechanisms for AIS, GIS and generator circuit breakers.

Aug 23, 2010Emissions of SF6 gas from switchgear contribute significantly to the threat of the greenhouse effect and associated climate change. SF6 is on the list of greenhouse gases in the Kyoto Protocol (1). SF6 is the most potent of the six main greenhouse gases, with a GWP of 23,000 (5).

The fluoroketone based SF6 alternative gas mixture is a chemical compound developed for switchgear applications in collaboration with 3M. Global warming potential (GWP) of the new gas mixture is almost 100 percent lower than that of SF6, without any compromise on equipment quality and reliability.

A switchgear may be a simple open-air isolator switch or it may be insulated by some other substance. An effective although more costly form of switchgear is the gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), where the conductors and contacts are insulated by pressurized sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF 6). Other common types are oil or vacuum insulated switchgear.

Gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear (GIS) is a compact metal encapsulated switchgear consisting of high-voltage components such as circuit-breakers and disconnectors, which can be safely operated in confined spaces. GIS is used where space is limited, for example, extensions, in city buildings, on roofs, on offshore platforms, industrial
