Summary

This brochure 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 are addressed: 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 know how 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. Type testing is not covered by this brochure.
