Alternative solutions to SF 6 have been researched for a long time. Up to now, no significant success has been achieved in solutions for the transmission network. This paper presents the research conducted with fluorinated compounds to qualify a new gas to be used into high voltage equipment as SF 6 alternatives with propertiesFile Size: 387KB

Most prominent among available options are “clean air” solutions, i.e. purified air, and gas mixtures that both have a fraction of the climate impact of SF 6. Hermetically sealed systems with clean air as an insulating gas take up more space than SF 6 , but combined with digitalised current and voltage transformers these systems can be built as small as current SF 6 systems.

For decades, the unique properties of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) have made it popular as an insulation and switching medium for electrical switchgear. However, SF6 is a greenhouse gas and there are life-cycle management costs associated with its use.

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. Recently, this effort has made important progress, with promising alternative gases being identified and tested.Cited by: 70

Among environmental concerns, the replacement of SF6 used in medium voltage switchgears represents an important challenge. Despite very interesting physical properties regarding its dielectric strength and electrical arc quenching ability, this gas is also known for its very high GWP value (Global Warming Potential).

Aug 23, 2010But, while there is no economically viable alternative to SF6 gas for high voltage (HV) switchgear ( 52 kV) in the transmission network, application of SF6 is totally unnecessary for medium voltage (MV) switchgear (< 52 kV) in the distribution network. Fully equivalent alternatives are commercially available on the market (2).
