Alternatives to SF6 gas are gaining traction in the Electrical Industry. Why are SF6 alternatives becoming popular? What available options are there to replace SF6 gas? Can users keep the same switchgear when looking for a replacement? Read on to learn all this and more.
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.
When it comes to medium and high voltage circuit breakers, there is no better electrical insulator than SF6 gas. How does SF6 gas work in a circuit breaker? Why is circuit breaker electrical testing important? Are there SF6 gas handling considerations when working on an SF6 gas circuit breaker? Read on to learn all this and more.
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.
