Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is widely used in the electric industry. While SF6 gas handling equipment is designed to minimize emissions, SF6 gas can escape into the atmosphere if equipment fails, leaks, or is handled improperly. New research, however, shows that SF6 gas emissions are declining in the United States. Learn more about this study and the importance of safe SF6 gas handling.
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.
