Mitigate the Operational Challenges Caused by Cold Weather with Winter-Ready Solutions from EMT
Moisture ingress is one of the most significant threats to the efficiency and longevity of your gas-insulated switchgear and circuit breakers. As temperatures drop, the risk of moisture ingress in gas-filled assets increases. Even small amounts of moisture entering the system can cause insulation breakdowns, corrosion, and potentially lead to catastrophic equipment failure. The presence of moisture also accelerates wear and tear, reducing the lifetime of critical assets and increasing the likelihood of costly repairs. To ensure the reliability and longevity of your high-voltage equipment, early moisture detection is crucial.

The Risks of Moisture Ingress in Gas-Insulated Equipment
In colder weather, the risk of moisture ingress into gas-filled equipment increases, leading to several issues:
Â
- Reduced Insulating Performance: Moisture can degrade the insulating properties of gases like SF6, reducing their ability to prevent electrical arcing and increasing the risk of electrical failure.
- Corrosion and Contamination: Moisture in the gas can cause corrosion of metal components and contamination of the gas, potentially leading to equipment malfunction and a decline in performance.
- Catastrophic Failures: The presence of moisture can lead to sudden and catastrophic failures, resulting in costly repairs, downtime, and safety risks for personnel.
- Shortened Asset Life: Continuous exposure to moisture can shorten the lifespan of your gas-insulated equipment, increasing maintenance and replacement costs.
