SF6 insulating gas
The disconnector is mechanically blocked when:
- the blocking device is installed. The circuit-breaker compartment, the busbar compartment, the
voltage transformer compartment and the termination compartment
have the same insulating gas density.
The insulating gas density of each compartment is monitored by a
separate system by means of a gasdensity meter. This meter
provides electrical signalling and visual indication.

Note:
Before replenishing the SF6-gas inspect the equip-

1. Start by measuring the temperature of the compart-
ment which is to be filled. This is done by placing a
thermometer to the highest self closing coupling on
the compartment.
2. Use the SF6 -gas density table (next page) to find the
nominal gas density for the compartment. The com-
partment should be replenished to this level.
3. Using the P-T diagram (next page), recorded temper-
ature and required gas density, you can establish the
desired compartment pressure.
Note:
The P-T diagram uses values in absolute bar, whe-
reas the manometer on the replenishment equipment
records values in barg (bar overpressure). This
means that 1 bar should be added to the measured
