23、ations 31 EN 60480:2004 4 INTRODUCTION Sulfur hexafluoride, SF 6 , is an essential gas for electrical equipment. Influenced by environ- mental concerns, the international community, and especially the electrical industry, has made and is still making a substantial contribution towards controlling th

24、e environmental impact of the product at all stages of its life, from “the cradle to the grave”, as it is defined in ISO 14040 5 1 . In line with these efforts and as a complement to them, particular attention has been paid to reclaiming procedures of the SF 6as used in electrical equipment. These p

25、rocedures allow the re-use of the gas when equipment is maintained, repaired or reaches the end of its service life. This includes acceptable limits for impurity levels, according to experience gained by main users (manufacturers and electrical utilities). _ 1References in square brackets refer to t

42、eir sources 5.1 Introductory remark SF 6taken from electrical equipment in operation contains several kinds of impurities. Some of them are already present in the new gas, as a result of the manufacturing process. The nature of these impurities and the quantities admissible are reported in IEC 60376

43、 and IEC 61634. The expected additional impurities in SF 6taken from equipment come from both gas handling and the operation of the equipment.

Oil from handling equipment (pumps and compressors) may also be inadvertently introduced to SF 6 . 5.3 Impurities in equipment having only an insulating function The essent

47、ial process is the decomposition of SF 6by partial discharges (corona and sparking). The immediate products are fragments of SF 6 , such as SF 5 , SF 4and F, that combine with O 2and H 2 O to form compounds, mainly HF, SO 2 , SOF 2 , SOF 4and SO 2 F 2 . Due to low energy of the partial discharges, t

48、he accumulated quantities of these compounds are usually negligible. 5.4 Impurities in switching equipment During current interruption, the existence of high temperature arcs leads to the formation of decomposition products of SF 6 , vaporized electrode metal, plastics and impurities. In addition, c

49、hemical reactions take place between the products formed (see Table 1). 9 EN 60480:2004 The quantity of these by-products is controlled by the number of operations, the design of equipment and the use of adsorbers (solid adsorbents). Switching equipment may also contain particles and metal dust coming from the
