  • Abstract
    Although gas-insulated system (GIS) and substations belong to the most reliable components of electric power networks, failures still occur in their long-term operation. In order to estimate the probability of malfunctions in advance, a system for monitoring the quality of the insulating gas SF6 was established, which is based on the use of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). In a set of experiments, partial discharge (PD) was generated inside a test GIS. The SF6 was periodically analyzed using IMS. The results of this analysis is presented and the influence of impurities remaining inside the compartment is discussed. The analysis of gas contained in a circuit breaker in a hydroelectric power plant before and after operation is described as well as the structure of a system for automatic on-site sensing of SF6 decomposition
