Technical report on alternative to SF6 gas in medium voltage high voltage electrical equipment TECHNICAL REPORT 20/02/2018. Gas mixtures partly based on SF 6, and Distribution Equipment and Services Industry GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear): MV or HV Switchgear in which the electrical insulation is

Sep 30, 2020SF6 gas has virtually replaced oil and air as the dielectric insulator in medium (MV) and high (HV) circuit breakers, switchgear, gas-insulated substations and electrical equipment. Despite SF6 being an inert gas during normal use, when electrical discharges occur through the operation of high voltage equipment insulated with SF6, highly toxic by-products are produced that pose a serious

In service, the emission rate, for actual designs is about 0.3% for HV equipment (for voltage above 52 kV), i.e. 10% during the life of the equipment, and lower than 0.1% for MV equipment (from 1 to 52 kV – especially for sealed for life equipment). So huge and specific

Nov 04, 2020GE has announced a g3 roadmap until 2025 to extend its SF6-free portfolio up to 420kV which also includes an EU Life funded project. AirPlus is a gas mixture using Novec 5110 Insulating Gas from 3M and is used by ABB in MV equipment, and by Hitachi ABB Power Grids in HV equipment.

The large amount of experimental data that is presently available suggest that 40% SF 6 /60% N 2 mixtures have all the dielectric characteristics that make it suitable for use as insulation in high voltage equipment. Ideally the gas mixtures should be suitable for use in the existing equipment as well as in the equipment that will be designed and manufactured in future.

Not a simple gas as SF 6 is, but a gas mixture named g 3 (green gas for grid) based on 3M™ Novec™ 4710 Dielectric Fluid from the fluoronitrile family specially developed by 3M for that purpose and used as an additive to a complementary gas. Among other candidates, fluoronitriles were studied extensively as the most promising chemical family.

Consequently, for typical mixtures used in High Voltage equipment, the LC 50 (or Acute Toxicity Estimate) of the gas would be equal to roughly 120000 ppmv (12% vol) and is therefore not classified by the CLP regulation 1272/2008. In addition to that, LC 50 of different gas mixtures (CO 2 with different Novec TM 4710) was

Dec 08, 2020For extreme cold temperature applications (ambient temperatures between −40&C and −50&C), the SF6 gas is typically mixed with another gas, either nitrogen (N2) or carbon tetra fluoride (CF4), to prevent liquefaction of the SF6 gas.

Mixed with CO2 buffer gas, the Novec 4710 mixtures offer excellent dielectric properties and the possibility to be used as an eco-friendly alternative to SF6 for medium voltage switchgears.

Also, in MV equipment, which has lower gas pressures and gas quantities, AirPlus helps reduce the CO 2-equivalent emis-sions over the switchgear lifetime. Fur-4 A single-line overview of the HV switchgear installed in the ewz substation 3a 170 kV HV GIS 3b 24 kV MV GIS The gas mixture is based on a perfluorinated ketone with five carbon atoms and

When MV and HV electrical equipment insulation or breaker component materials contain. Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF. 6. ) and the equipment is near end-of-life, special care must be taken. in the recycling process. SF. 6, at the time of disposal, is recognized by numerous government. organizations as hazardous waste.

Another option are certain fluorinated gas mixtures that also have less greenhouse gas potential than SF 6. For example, the Zurich-based energy supplier EWZ has been using such a solution since 2015, and in 2019 a 380 kV plant was erected in Bavaria, Germany. However, these gas mixtures lose their effectiveness at very low temperatures.

Jul 06, 20202-End-of-life of the insulation gas mixture is reached: Non-SF6 gases or gas mixtures may age during lifetime e.g. due to decomposition and reach an end-of-life stage. Here, a first indicator for end-of-life would be the gas lifetime statement of the equipment manufacturer.

Dec 01, 2000We have tested the performance of glass RPC operated in streamer mode with the gas mixture containing SF 6 instead of freon, HFC-134a. By using a small amount of SF 6, we could operate the RPCs at a much lower high voltage with comparable performance to the HFC-134a mixture except for having a narrower efficiency plateau.The feasibility for using the SF 6 mixture is discussed.

C5-PFK has attracted much attention as one of the most promising SF6 substitutes for medium voltage (MV) power equipment because of its high insulation strength and low global warming potential (GWP).
