What exactly is Gas Insulated Switchgear? And where and how is it used? Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) is a type of switchgear used in electrical power systems. Learn more about its benefits, applications, and maintenance in this blog post.
Any organization using specialty gases for manufacturing and other applications requires the right equipment for proper handling. In the electrical transmission and distribution industry, sulfur hexafluoride is one such gas. It features a high dielectric strength and great insulating properties, making it critical to SF6 gas handling equipment like switchgear and circuit breaker production and for other high-voltage applications. All equipment is subject to damage or defect, making regular maintenance necessary. Read our blog post filled with tips for proper maintenance of SF6 gas equipment and accessories to learn more.
The 2024 hurricane season is well underway and NOAA has predicted a more active storm season this year. Has your utility team prepared for hurricane season yet? If so, have you included SF6 management in your preparations? Read below to see how your team can best prepare for the hurricane season and how DILO can help.
Maintaining the integrity of electrical grids relies heavily on the performance of critical gases used for insulation and switching purposes. This article explores the importance of gas purity for SF6, C4 (fluoronitrile mixture), and CA(dry-air mixtures) for the electrical industry as well as applications for hydrogen, and noble gases. This article will outline methods for checking purity, best practices for maintaining gas quality, and the impact of adhering to regulatory standards.
Maintaining SF6 service equipment is an essential part of gas handling. This blog post covers the importance of maintenance in regards to SF6 measuring equipment.
