T&D Europe Technical report on alternative to SF6 gas in medium voltage & high voltage electrical equipment

03 September 2017

 The purpose of this report is to provide a mapping of the status of alternatives to SF6 gas filled switchgear by the end of 2016. The intent of T&D Europe is to provide a collection of documentations and to give an overview on the present situation. T&D Europe intents to revise this mapping if and when technical changes or progress will justify it. The objective is to deliver a global perspective being valued by experts with general technical background. In-depth technical analyses shall be covered by other professional organizations like Cigré or IEEE and International standardization authorities like IEC. This report does not intend to cover economical comparison between SF6 based switchgear and SF6 free switchgear.
