When it comes to medium and high voltage circuit breakers, there is no better electrical insulator than sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). Unfortunately, the same properties that make SF6 such a great insulating gas also make SF6 the most potent of all greenhouse gases. With the ever-growing challenges of federal & local reporting and a shift towards more eco-friendly practices, the industry is seeking ways to reduce SF6 emissions.
Here at DILO, we sure do talk a lot about SF6. It’s our job, as the SF6 experts! What is sulfur hexafluoride used for? The electrical industry accounts for 80% of SF6 gas usage, but some of its other applications might surprise you. Click below to read more.
Nameplate discrepancies can result in negative emissions and phantom emissions. Read on to learn how these emissions can affect year-end SF6 emissions reporting data and how they can be avoided.
Do you know where your SF6 gas comes from? Read on to learn more about sourcing reconditioned SF6 gas directly in America instead of overseas to save your company time and money while helping to reduce sulfur hexafluoride emissions.
As we slowly move towards alternatives for SF6 gas Insulated Equipment (GIE) applications, I am challenged to do my part to provide the best recommendations as an industry veteran who “grew-up” around the SF6 gas world. Read on to learn what the current SF6 regulations and SF6 legislation mean for businesses today and in the near future.
Did you know that removing SF6 gas from a cylinder without using a heater blanket is a common source of lost gas and emissions? Read on to see how a simple accessory can help optimize SF6 gas handling and reduce emissions.
