    Sulphur Hexafluoride, SF6

    Is a colourless, odourless, nontoxic, non-flammable, insulating and cooling gas.


    It is five times heavier/denser than air and one of the heaviest known gases.

    1900 First operation (France)


    1937 First patent as insulating gas (Cooper)
    1938 First patent as arc quenching gas (Grosse)
    1948 Start of technical production (USA)
    1960 First SF6-Power circuit breaker (Westinghouse)
    1964 First Siemens-SF6-Power circuit breaker ( puffer type )
    1968 First Siemens-GIS with SF 6-Insulation
    1974 First Siemens-GIL
    1995 First Siemens-SF 6 –Power circuit breaker ( self compression )

    Advantages : - High dielectric strenght


    - Regeneration capacity
    - Low pressure increase in the case of breakdown
    Packaging: Specifications in accordance to DIN IEC- 60376
    Steel cylinders of 5, 10, 20, 40 or 50 kg
    Container with 460 or 600 kg
