Cold weather leaves no margin for error in gas-filled substations. From moisture ingress and seal contraction to tighter dielectric limits, winter conditions can quickly expose hidden risks.
This guide covers a practical winter maintenance checklist for SF₆ and alternative gases, key KPIs to track, and proven leak-detection and gas-handling best practices—plus a February training opportunity to strengthen readiness before peak winter stress.
Stricter regulations, alternative gases, and rising expectations are reshaping how utilities manage SF₆. Learn why formal certification matters in 2026—and how hands-on training at IGMS helps utilities turn compliance into a safety culture
SF₆ safety culture goes beyond compliance. Learn how hose prep, grounding, PPE checks, and continuous training create safer, more reliable gas-handling operations. Read the full article to understand how organizations build SF₆ safety into their identity.
SF₆ remains essential to today’s power grid—but managing it responsibly starts with one thing: accurate gas analysis. Learn why purity, moisture, and by-product testing are the backbone of safe, compliant, and cost-effective SF₆ handling.
As the race toward net-zero accelerates, high-voltage infrastructure stands at a crossroads. Aging assets, surging renewable integration, and new regulatory pressures are forcing utilities and planners to rethink how the grid is built — and what “future-ready” really means.
