Cigre Guide for Sf6 Gas Mixtures. Application and Handling in Electric Power Equipment
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an outline of the handling and recycling of SF6 mixtures in electrical power equipment. It is based on the CIGRE Guide for SF6 mixtures and addresses the application fields of SF6 mixtures in electric power equipment, their insulation and switching performance, the evaluation of their environmental advantage, and the processes and equipment for their environmentally responsible handling and recycling. As the handling of SF6 mixtures is similar to that of unmixed SF6 in many respects, the reader is referred to the CIGRE SF6 recycling guide, which describes the handling of unmixed SF6.

GasVue and the Magnesium Industry: Advanced SF6 Leak Detection
Concerns about atmospheric emissions of greenhouse gases and operation costs are converging to increase incentives for both the electric utility and magnesium industries to rapidly locate and repair equipment leaks (Irwin, 1997). The primary culprit is sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), an invisible, non-hazardous, inert gas with near-perfect dielectric properties that is used as an insulating gas in h...
متن کاملThe SF6 Decomposition Mechanism: Background and Significance
Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) has been widely used in substations. The insulating medium used in GIS is sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas. However, the internal insulation defect existed in GIS would inevitably lead to partial discharge (PD), and cause the composition of SF6 to SOF2, SO2F2 and SO2 and other characteristic component gases. The decomposition phenomenon would greatly reduce the insul...

Abstract: The application of electric field theory to widely different aspects of electrical insulation has led to more understanding the phenomena. Electric fields may be considered as the main reason for insulation failure. The purpose of this paper is to modify importance of analyzing electric field in insulation design. The SF6 circuit breaker is chosen as case study that encounters cri...
متن کاملEffect of Lightning Impulse Voltage on the Performance of 1-phase Gas Insulated Busduct in the Presence of Metallic Particle Contamination with Sf6/n2 Gas Mixtures
SF6 is the main mode of insulation in a GIS. However, in recent years, the future use of SF6 has been debated throughout the world in spite of it having all the desirable properties of a good insulating and arc quenching medium. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has been used as a gaseous dielectric (insulator) in high voltage equipment since the 1950s. It is now known that SF6 is a potent greenhouse w...
متن کاملDielectric Strength of Different Gases in GIS
SF6 is a gas with excellent dielectric properties and is commonly used in gas-insulated equipment. However it has the high global warming potential. Thus, the development of new gases or gas mixtures for GIS, GIL is strongly desired. For dimensioning the gas insulated systems the support insulators (spacers) are of special interest. Contaminations on the insulator surface can cause field distor...
