SF₆ Academy

SF₆ gas has become a hot topic for governments around the world because of its high global warming potential.  Consequently, controlling SF₆ emissions is paramount.  The SF₆ Academy was founded to establish and teach best practices in SF₆ handling and management.

What is it?

The evolution of SF₆ switchgear maintenance has occurred rapidly resulting in different standards for SF₆ handling throughout the T&D industry. Maintaining an up-to-date and systematic approach to SF₆ switchgear maintenance is a constant challenge. What if you could assemble experts from across the spectrum of SF₆ gas life cycle management and gleam insights into best practices?  What if you could see and experience the equipment needed in SF₆-insulated switchgear maintenance?  This type of interactive exchange is exactly what the SF₆ Academy offers.
