Why Your Gas Insulated Substation Needs Oxygen Deficiency Monitoring

Gas Insulated Substations (GIS) are widely used by utilities and industrial facilities because they provide a compact, reliable, and low-maintenance solution for high-voltage electrical distribution. While GIS technology offers many operational advantages, it also introduces an important safety consideration: the potential for oxygen-deficient atmospheres within enclosed buildings. Most GIS installations utilize sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas […]
