Summary

The WG investigated the possibility of minimising the SF6 emission during the manufacturing of electric power equipment as well as on-site testing and commissioning by reducing the need for SF6 handling during routine testing and on-site testing. The following topics - feasibility of the idea; environmental friendly gases and their relative properties; which tests could be modified and how; which practical tests or simulation or technical knowhow is required to have a sound basis; positive and negative aspects of the proposed approach; which modifications should be introduced into the current Standards in force, if any-were addressed. Type testing is not covered.
