The EconiQ portfolio is an alternative solution for high-voltage equipment such as gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), gas-insulated lines (GIL), dead tank breakers (DTBs) and hybrid switchgear. New ...

The tanks are made to hold sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), an electrical insulator that was once used to fill race car tires, tennis balls and even Nike Air Max shoes.

The gas, sulfur hexafluoride, ... The tanks are made to hold sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), an electrical insulator that was once used to fill race car tires, tennis balls and even Nike Air Max shoes.

The volume of SF6 released in 2018 is less than half of what it was a decade prior, but still equaled the annual greenhouse gas emissions of 2.1 million automobiles, according to the Environmental ...

SF6 is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable, and non-toxic gas, but with a 23,500 times greater global warming potential than CO2. SF6 is used in the electrical industry as a gaseous dielectric ...

Although this type of equipment seals the gas inside the tank, precautions are needed when handling the equipment since a leak will have a significant impact as a greenhouse gas, with an impact about ...

This gas is present at a low fraction, less than 5% of the mixture, and it’s less potent than SF6, Heimbach says. But C4-fluoronitriles are still powerful greenhouse gases, up to a few thousand ...

These municipalities are partnering with Schneider Electric to reduce their carbon footprint by using pure air instead of SF6 gas. Lastly, Schneider Electric is committed and has started offering ...

A greenhouse gas 24,000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide is being driven up by China’s growing electricity needs, according to a new study. CO2 is the number one greenhouse gas on our ...
