scope:
The guide reviews existing standards and performance criteria for switchgear rated above 1000 V. Each aspect of performance is discussed within the context of Sulfur Hexafluoride alternatives, how their behavior may differ from existing technologies and how this behavior may lead to changes in the qualification process. Relevant analytical, numerical and test methods are discussed which may contribute to the process of performance evaluation and evolution of the standards.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to review the performance characteristics of current Sulfur Hexafluoride alternatives in gas insulated equipment (GIE) and compare these with the demands encountered in service. The guide reveals the reasoning behind existing standard requirements and presents information relevant to their adequacy for SF6 alternatives.
Table 1 summarizes the conclusions and recommendations from IEEE PES TR64 and the related content in IEEE C37.100.7.
