SF6 gas leak sealing
SF6 leaks at switchgear flanges and seals release an expensive insulating gas and degrade equipment reliability.
What is failing
SF6 leaks at switchgear flanges and seals release an expensive insulating gas and slowly degrade the reliability of the gear. Every leaking joint is both a cost and a reportable loss of a high-impact gas. Taking the switchgear out of service and evacuating the SF6 to make the repair means an outage and a recharge the utility would rather not schedule.
How CM Solutions US does it
CM Solutions US seals the leak path cold while the gear stays energized and in service. Our crew prepares the leaking flange or seal area and applies a compound that closes the path without disturbing the equipment. There is no hot work and no need to vent the gas to make the repair.
The leak stops without evacuating the SF6 or scheduling an outage. The switchgear keeps its insulating charge and stays in service.
