How Ambient Conditions Can Compromise Density Measurements in T&D SF6-Insulated Equipment
| Leo Lopez | SF6 Gas SolutionsFor decades, the power transmission and distribution (T&D) industry has been using sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) as the insulator in circuit breakers, disconnectors, and switchgear. The heat transfer and dielectric characteristics of this gas are better than those of …
How to Minimize Emissions of Environment-Damaging SF6
| Leo Lopez | SF6 Gas SolutionsSulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) has been used for decades as an insulator in power plants and electrical transmission and distribution. This gas has excellent dielectric properties, almost three times better than air and nitrogen, and it works well as arc quencher in …
