{ SF6 is Sulphur hexafluoride formed by chemical

reaction of molten sulphur and fluorine.
{ It is colourless, odourless, nonflammable, non-
corrosive and chemically stable.
{ High dielectric strength.
{ Quenches arc effectively and has excellent cooling
properties.
{ Good thermal conductivity and excellent thermal
stability.
{ It¶s not poisonous and eco-friendly.
{ It can be recycled.
    


  


Hospitals, underground shopping

centers, substations where a high level of
fire safety is required.

Water treatment plants and hydroelectric

power plants where waterways must be
kept unpolluted.

Thermal power plants, chemical plants,

public works facilities etc where high
reliability is required.

 
 

  

— Highly flame resistant and non
explosive.
— High resistance to moisture.
— Reduced installation space.
— High reliability.
— Causes no pollution.
— Explosion proof tank.
— Easy inspection and maintenance work.

Ñ Incessant research and continuous developments
have made construction of large capacity gas
insulated transformer possible.
Ñ With the eco-friendly aspects of SF6 gas and
considering the huge advantages of the gas, long
strides can be made in this regard to further utilize
it and increase the efficiency of the transformer
and making the power system more reliable and
safer.
Thank you for a very patient
hearing.
