How to Use the SF6 Gas Filling Machine for GIS

Mar 06, 2026 Leave a message

SF6 gas is widely used as an insulating and arc-quenching medium in GIS due to its excellent dielectric properties. Proper handling and filling of SF6 gas are essential to ensure the reliable operation and longevity of GIS stations. Operation SF6 gas filling machine correctly can help maintain the integrity of the gas insulation system, prevent leaks, and ensure operational safety. This article outlines the step-by-step process of using an SF6 gas filling machine for GIS.

1. attention

Please note the following points before starting:

Connection to ensure that the joint sealing.

Because this device factory has been pumping air into a vacuum state, suggest that this device pumps air into a vacuum state when the phone is switched on for the first time method as shown. After the first operation, the generalshould be stored in containers and leave a small amount of SF6 gas in the pipeline; otherwise recommends vacuum when the phone is switched on.

2. tube connection

Before use, first of all, we will randomly send a rubber hose according tothe need of the function of connection is good, for as far as possible to reduce the loss of line, the line should be as short as possible.

Recycling : electrical equipment , rubber hose , recycling air inlet

Inflation : electrical equipment , rubber hose , mouth filling with gas ( liquid )

Electrical equipment SF6 recycling bottling needs 2 hoses:

Electrical equipment, rubber hose, and recycling air inlet

Cylinders , rubber hose , mouth filling with gas ( liquid )

Storage container SF6 bottling:

Cylinders , rubber hose , mouth filling with gas ( liquid )

3. oil level check

Recovery unit in the compressor adopts N46 (# 25 ) refrigeration oil as a lubricant, vacuum pump with high vacuum pump oil as a lubricant, and should first check the oil levelbefore starting. If the oil level is too low or too high, it should be adjusted to the oil standard lens center position. It should also pay attention to the operation of the regular check of the actual oillevel line, which should not be below the center line too much. N46 , frozen oil , and could , inprinciple , one year , due to change the engine oil .

4. Refrigeration system check

Refrigeration system using R22 as refrigerant, compressor is a fully enclosed pistoncompressor, when needed, add refrigerant. Still should check whether there is anydamage on the line, before starting the loose joint ever, fan is normal, and so on.

5. power connection

This device is for a three-phase ac power supply (five-core system, need to pick upthe zero line ) 50 hz, 380 v + 10 %, with a total 9 kw or less power. Devices of the electrical control components within all are focused on the electriccabinet. Due to the button, switch, and lamp being installed on the electric cabinet door, under normal working state, it does not need to open the electric cabinet; only the power cable plug on the side of the recycling equipment storage container withproper power supply connection. In this section, all work has beencompleted before starting the electric cabinet. When the condition ofthe power switch enters the working state, the operation should be carried outaccording to section 5 of the instructions.

Detections in the electric circuit fault facies phase sequence protection relay can be manually reset to the power phase sequence.
