Exceptional accuracy and stability are provided when measuring the purity of SF6 gas, through specially selected sensors. The modular configuration allows for up to eight compatible gases to be analysed, simultaneously, with one analyser.
A gas output nozzle allows for the analyser to be attached to the Rapidox Gas Recovery Bag, ensuring that all sampled SF6 gas is recovered.
Internal SF6 gas pressure is recorded and logged by the analyser. All measured gases are analysed and data logged simultaneously with only a few minutes required to achieve a stable reading.
In order to accelerate the time taken in-between dew-point readings, a unique Rapidri system is fitted to analysers measuring H2O. When not in use the sensor can be isolated via the ‘Open-Close’ valve.
The analyser is pre-programmed with all current IEC and CIGRE test configurations, with the ability to create customised test parameters. Modular design allows for bespoke sensor combinations upon request.

SF6 Gas
SF6 is an extremely stable, non-flammable and highly electronegative gas with excellent dielectric properties. It is commonly used in medium and highvoltage electrical equipment as an electrical insulator, arc-quenching and cooling medium.
However, SF6 is classified as a greenhouse gas and must be kept within a closed circuit to avoid any deliberate release into the atmosphere. The international Kyoto agreement protocol has mandated reductions to harmful emissions amongst its member states.
For the power transmission and distribution network, SF6 technology remains essential. To protect personnel, equipment and the environment regular SF6 analysis should be adopted within the maintenance schedule. The early identification of any decomposition products and moisture within the SF6 gas will help avoid unnecessary shutdowns, outages and failures, in addition to reducing maintenance expenditures.
