SAFETY SHEET
SF6
Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) is a gas which in its basic state is colourless, odourless and tasteless. It is
not toxic, but it cannot sustain life. It is a heavy gas that is dispersed slowly into the atmosphere.
In its natural state, SF6 is delivered and stored in pressurized tanks (bottles or spheres) at a pressure
of approximately 20 bar at 20C (in its liquid form) and complies with IEC standard 376.
However, under the effect of the electric arc, the SF6 molecules break up and the elements mostly
recombine during cooling either due to extinction of the arc or by regeneration caused by the
presence of active absorbent charges within the circuit breaker.
Various chemical reactions, associated with the volatilization of the materials in contact with the
electric arc, create either fluoridized or sulphurous secondary gas products or solid products in the
form of metallic fluoride powder ; or again, in the presence of traces of water or moisture,
hydrofluoric acid or sulphur dioxide.
In the life-cycle of the equipment, SF6 can be observed not only in its pure state, but also in its
contaminated state :
WORK REQUIREMENTS.
The storage of these containers is governed by the same storage regulations as compressed gas
bottles :
- keep away from any source of heat and in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area,
- always fit a pressure reducing valve.
Whilst SF6 in its pure state is not toxic, the decomposition products have varying degrees of toxicity.
They may irritate the skin, the eyes and the mucous membranes; and in massive amounts may
cause serious lesions (oedema, heart failure, circulatory disorders and unconsciousness).
However, very rapidly and before there is any real danger, signs such as a pungent smell, irritation
of the mucous of the nose, the eyes and the mouth will give a warning and the personnel
concerned will have sufficient time to take the necessary safety actions.
Where the gas is used or handled within enclosed premises, ensure adequate ventilation,
especially low down.
If the gas is inhaled, the area concerned must be evacuated immediately.
Under normal operating conditions, leaks are exceptionally minor and not critical, even when the
gas contains impurities (due to the regenerating filters in the circuit breaker).
Filling and where necessary topping up operations must be carried out using the appropriate tools.
During maintenance operations, or at the end of the life-cycle, dust inside the equipment must be
removed by a vacuum extractor and the operator should wear a mask. Gas recovery must be
carried out using the appropriate gas recovery equipment.
Gases and decomposition products must be treated and/or disposed of by specialist organizations.
Under extremely abnormal conditions (e.g. break in the shielding) in an enclosed space, individual
protective equipment is recommended.
Lastly, it is forbidden to smoke, drink, eat or keep food in the vicinity of open SF6 equipment,
whether indoors or outside (harmful dust).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
It is essential that both the fitter and the user read IEC Technical Report 1634 regarding the use and
handling of sulphur hexafluoride gas.

Description and operation
SF6 gas monitoring
Introduction The electrical characteristics of switchgear depend on the density of SF6 gas
i.e. the mass of gas pumped into a compartment of a given capacity.
Constant density At constant density, with an invariable compartment volume, the pressure
changes in the same way as the temperature. Since the gas density remains
invariable owing to the fact that no modification occurs in the quantity of gas
or the volume of the relevant compartment, the electrical characteristics of the
switchgear will remain unchanged.
Conclusion Since it is difficult to measure the gas density directly, it is essential to know
accurately its absolute pressure and temperature.

Measuring density
Pressure units D The international unit pressure is the Pascal (Pa), and hectopascal (hPa)
used for atmospheric pressure measurements.
D The practical unit is the bar (14.503 p.s.i.)
1 bar = 1 000 hPa = 14.5 psi
1 bar = 100 kPa
10 bar = 1 MPa
D Standard atmospheric pressure is equal to 1,013 hPa at sea level and an
air temperature of 20C (68F).
Measuring density When it is not possible to directly measure density, this may be checked using
an industrial pressure gauge capable of measuring the effective pressure.
An effective pressure value corresponds to the rated density, determined for
normal atmospheric pressure (1,013 hPa) and an ambient temperature of
20C (68F).
For each pressure reading (filling, inspection of densimeter thresholds...), the
rated effective pressure should be corrected according to the ambient tem-
perature and atmospheric pressure of the site at the time the reading is taken.
The real pressure is therefore :

regulations concerning the contact resistance existing between the pads and
these connections.
However, the attention is pointed out on the importance lying with the quality
of these contacts, which depends on the assembling conditions (surface
condition, tightening torque for screws and bolts) and having these conditions
maintened times goes.
For more information purposes, no total contact resistance should exceed

Commissioning
Pre--commissioning inspections
Presentation
Introduction After installation of the bay, completion of all earth circuit and electrical con-
nections, it is necessary to perform certain pre--commissioning inspections.
These inspections should be performed with the apparatus ready to be com-
missioned (energized), in other words.
D LV electrical circuits conforming, in voltage and type, with the low--voltage
diagrams and rating plate of the apparatus.
D SF6 envelopes at rated SF6 pressure.
NOTE : Rated pressure, pressure of equipment after SF6 gas filling.
D Flexible connections linking circuit--breaker to busbar installed.
Reminder The measurement values demanded hereafter are to be taken during the test
and inspection programme prior to commissioning and checked with the val-
ues of the acceptance criteria and checking points end of this sheet, then
entered in the pre-commissioning test report (RES..., see summary for refer-
ence)
. If, however, the values do not conform with those foreseen in the
acceptation criteria or general characteristics, contact :
ALSTOM Grid S.A. Customer Service.

Reminder SF6 envelopes are at rated pressure following the SF6 gas filling operation.
Checking SF6 gas SF6 pressure values must obligatorily be read on the pressure inspection
gauge (tooling). Pay no attention to indications given by the dial densimeter
on the filling control block (where applicable) ; it is not accurate enough for this
inspection.
SF6 gas The SF6 humidity level need not be known as the equipment is fitted with mo-
humidity level lecular sieves in sufficient numbers to give a dew point lower than, or equal
to, 0C at an ambient temperature of 20C, for an apparatus filled to its rated
pressure for 2 or 3 months.

Subject D This subject of this document is to describe the sequence of repair proce-
dures necessary to correct any surface damage to the paint on the GCB
enclosure.
D Any mud, dirt or grease must be removed from around the area to be repai-
red.
D Mud and dirt can be cleaned and wiped off with wet rags and/or a sponge.
Grease will need to be removed with alcohol. Once complete, leave for a short
time to dry. Wipe down with a clean rag.
PAINTING :
Open the pot of paint, stir if necessary, if the product has been in storage for
a long period of time.
Using the paintbrush, apply an even coat of paint over the damaged area.
Paint an area slightly larger than the damaged area, covering all the surface
touched by the emery cloth. Thus ensuring a good coverage of the exposed
area.
It have been determined that under normal circumstances one coat of paint
is all that is necessary. Should the client require it a second coat of paint may
be added. To this end please refer to the details printed on the paint pot con-
cerning drying times between paint applications.

Principle No future lubrication will be necessary. The bearings and rollers have been
lubricated in our workshops with special grease :
ASEOL SYLITEA 4--018
This grease can easily endure very low temperatures and has an excellent
resistance to ageing. So that its qualities are not modified during use, it is pro-
hibited to :
Mixture with other lubricants can cause the layer of grease to become too
hard.

Management of SF6 gas
The most abundant gases, which participate in the creation of this green-
house effect are Water Vapour, Carbon Dioxide, Methane. However, since the
beginning of the industrial era, Man has released gases into the atmosphere,
which artificially increase the greenhouse effect.
Even if Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) is only present in the environment in low
levels, it creates a greenhouse gas, which has the capacity to absorb the
infra--red rays emitted by the Earth, which is 22,200 times higher than that of
Carbon Dioxide.
SF6 gas is used in High--and Medium--Voltage switchgear for its breaking and
insulation capacities.
The SF6 emissions can be generated in the equipment manufacturing, opera-
ting, maintenance and decommissioning processes. The losses are, either,
accidental (equipment breakage),or structural (equipments leaktightness).
Under no circumstances, SF6 gas should be released to the environment:

Management of SF6 gas
New SF6 D Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) is a colourless, odourless and non--toxic gas.
D However, it is a gas, which does not maintain life.
This gas is heavier than air and the lower parts such as trenches or cable
troughs can contain a strong concentration of this gas, which could lead to
asphyxia.
N.B. : The maximum permissible concentration on a workstation,
assuming that people stay there 8 hours a day, 5 days a week,
is 1000 ppm (i.e. 0.1%) of the volume. This very low level is a
standard value for all non--toxic gases, which are not usually
present in the atmosphere.

Used SF6 D Under the influence of electrical arcing, SF6 gas can be broken down into
sub--products, which are more or less toxic and/or corrosive.
D Depending on their nature, these products can be irritant for the mucous
membranes, the respiratory tracts and the skin.

Instructions on the handling of used SF6 gas
and decomposition products
Precautions to take At the time of the opening--up SF6 gas switchgear, take the precautions
below :
DS Open--up SF6 switchgear only after the gas has been evacuated and the
pressure inside the apparatus has been reduced to that of atmospheric
pressure.
DS Put the ventilation system in operation or ensure that fresh air circulates
in some other manner when switchgear which contains decomposition
products is opened (e.g. circuit--breaker).
DS Wear suitable fresh air breathing apparatus if there is even the slightest
possibility that personnel working on the equipment could be put in danger
through inhalation of hazardous amounts of gas vapor from powdery
decomposition products.
DS Wear special overalls when working on opened--up SF6 switchgear which
contains powdery decomposition products. After completing work remove
overalls.
DS Avoid stirring--up dust and powder from SF6 switchgear. Difficult to remove
dust can be removed with dry non--fibrous rags. A vacuum cleaner should be
used to remove loose dust. The vacuum cleaner filter should be able to retains
particles of a least 1 m in size.
DS Items (such as rags, vacuum cleaner, throw--away--overalls, gloves, etc.)
which come in contact with the decomposition products must be collected and
neutralized so that the dust cannot be transferred. Before getting rid of these
items neutralize in a 3 percent soda solution for 24 hours. verify the degree
of neutralization after 24 hours. When soda is added, no bubbles should be
result. If there are bubbles repeat the neutralization.
DS Under all circumstances ensure that the decomposition products neither
come in contact with skin, eyes, clothes, nor that they are swallowed or
inhaled. Pay special attention to cleanliness of body, clothes and
work--bench. Dust or powder that comes in contact with skin must be washed
away with plenty of water.
It is advisable to wash face, neck, arms and hands with soap and plenty of
water before work--breaks and after stoppage of work.
DS Avoid eating, drinking, smoking or storing eatables in rooms or outdoors
near to opened SF6 switchgear which may contain arc--decomposed powder.

Instructions on the handling of used SF6 gas
and decomposition products
Important The table below recapitulates the important instructions to follow at the time
instructions of handling of used SF6 gas and decomposition products :
No. Instruction
1 As soon as an unpleasant, piercing odor from decomposition products
becomes perceptible leave the substation room without delay. enter
the room only after thorough ventilation or when wearing suitable
oxygen breathing masks (with filtering or fresh air device).
2 After disturbances, enter the substation room only after having
thoroughly aired the room or when wearing independent of
ambient--air operating oxygen breathing masks, or alternatively, after
verifying by measurement that the ambient air contains at least 17%
volume of oxygen, especially if, one has to reckon with the
concentration of SF6 in hazardous amounts.
3 Enter rooms located below, and connected with the substation--rooms
after thorough ventilation only, or when wearing oxygen breathing
masks which operate independent of the ambient--air, or alternatively,
after having verified by measurement that the ambient air contains at
least 17% volume of oxygen.
4 Ensure that the room ventilation operates satisfactorily, whilst
maintenance work is being performed on SF6 switchgear (discharging
and filling of gas, opening and cleaning of equipment).
