SF6 gas handling – why?
Three viable criteria:
 Environmental protection
 Less expenditure for SF6 gas
 Compliance with regulations IEC

60480, IEC 60376, IEC 62271-4

Cause of SF6 emissions
Regulations and guidelines
Recommendation acc. to IEC

standard 62271-203 – max.
leak rate:
High voltage: 0.5 % p.a.
Medium voltage: 0.1 % p.a.
Losses during SF6 handling SF6 leaks of the plant

Technical recommendation acc. to CIGRE Determination acc. to IEC standards
“SF6 Handling Guide”
70 % of the SF6 emissions are caused

by inadequate gas handling!

Residual gas emissions in SF6 recovery
