Type 8DQ1 is one of the world’s leading high-voltage switchgear. Siemens delivered the first gas-insulated substation for a rated voltage of 420 kV. A permanent process of improvement has led to today’s 8DQ1. Main features: For rated voltage of up to 550 kV; High degree of versatility provided by a modular design and active and passive modules

Jul 06, 2020A first indicator for end-of-life of non-SF6 gases and gas mixtures would be the gas lifetime statement of the equipment manufacturer. A gas quality check (if possible) might indicate that the equipment can be used longer, or that the gas has to be replaced if

Aug 08, 2020The circuit breaker in a gas insulated system is metal-clad and utilises SF6 gas, both for insulation and fault interruption. The SF6 gas pressure in a circuit breaker is around 0.65 MPa. The circuit breaker is directly connected to either current transformers or the isolators in gas.

Nov 01, 2018SF6 is a non-combustible gas with good insulating properties and quenching arc performance. By 1938, Cooper from American suggested it as an insulating medium. In the same year, V. Grosse from German has proposed SF 6 as arc media of the high-voltage circuit breaker. SF6 gas was supplied commercially in 1947.

The fluoroketone-based gas mixture for switchgear applications was developed in collaboration with 3M and has been named AirPlus. The new gas mixture contains: − Fluoroketone, carbon dioxide and oxygen for high-voltage (HV) GIS − Fluoroketone, nitrogen and oxygen for medium-voltage (MV) GIS

DILO’s path in SF6 gas handling started in 1967, when we supplied a complete piping system for installation of the first SF6 gas insulated switchgear. Since then, our product portfolio has successively been developed to the widest product range of emission-free gas handling equipment worldwide.

6gas is widely used in the high-voltage electrical industry because it is an excellent dielectric and has a very good electrical arc switching characteristic. It is also chemically inert, non-toxic and non-flammable, making it the most suitable gas for circuit-breaker applications. But, it is a greenhouse gas (GWP of the SF 6gas is listed 23,900).

The upgraded station has a special feature: for its high-voltage switches it uses clean air as an insulating gas - instead of sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6), which has been the standard for more than fifty years to prevent short circuits and arcs in substations.

HV Gas Insulated Circuit Breakers Mitsubishi Electric High Voltage Circuit Breakers offer protection and isolation of critical power transmission infrastructure and equipment. Substation equipment often costs millions of dollars and the reliability and safety of these assets largely depend on power circuit breakers.

SF6 gas has been used extensively since the mid 1950s to replace oil as an insulator in electric equipment, and more recently in gas insulated switchgear (GIS) and gas insulated lines (GIL). It is also used in medium voltage switchgear primarily outside the United States and extensively worldwide in low switching capacity gear.

Recent developments show applications of non-SF 6 gases and gas-mixtures in medium and high voltage switchgear, and pilot applications were installed from several manufacturers in different countries. Most of these solutions are using gas mixtures instead of a single gas.

Also, in MV equipment, which has lower gas pressures and gas quantities, AirPlus helps to reduce the CO 2-equivalent emissions over the switchgear lifetime. Further, in cases where gas handling is outside of the manufacturer’s responsibility or control, the new gas mixture ensures that the climate impact of any escaping gas is reduced by
