  • Utilizing Class I Div. 2 Circuit Breakers in Liquid Natural Gas Applications
    An increase in the demand for energy worldwide has driven the search for alternative primary sources of energy, even to the most remote locations of the globe. Natural gas, one of the leading alternative energy choices for fueling industries today, is considered the cleanest burning fossil fuel
  • Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) Insulating Gas Leak Detection with an IR Imaging Camera
    For years, electric utility transmission thermographers have wanted a camera that could spot leaking sulfur hexafluoride, SF6. As an insulating gas, SF6 is widely used by the electric power industry in high voltage circuit breakers to prevent arcing. Early efforts met with limited success through
  • Switchyards and Substations
    ) are present. Gas and oil circuit breakers are used. The gas (e.g. sulfur hexaflouride) or oil is used to extinguish the arc caused when a breaker is opened, either by a control switch or due to a fault. Manually or motor operated disconnects are provided on either side of the breaker to allow
  • Moisture Measurement in SF6 - A Permanent, Environmentally Safe Solution (.pdf)
    Most electric utilities and independent power producers use Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) as an arc quenching and insulating gas in high voltage circuit breakers and switchgear installed in their electrical transmission and distribution systems. These circuit breakers require periodic maintenance
  • Measurement of Water Vapor in Sulphur Hexafluoride, SF6
    Sulphur hexafluoride, SF6, is a non-toxic, inert, insulating and cooling gas of high dielectric strength and thermal stability. Due to its high dielectric strength, it is particularly suited for application in high power circuit breakers as well as in high-voltage cables, transformers
