Market Leading Insulating Gas Analysis Products & Services

Insulating gases (dielectric gases) are designed to quench, extinguish or prevent arcing when switching high voltage equipment. Switchgear, GIS and other compartments housing SF6 and alternative insulating gases require a specific concentration/purity to ensure optimal operation and to ensure full quenching of discharges.

 

EMT combine expert knowledge in developing world class products with the provision of unrivalled service and support. Our team of dedicated industry specialists have developed a comprehensive range of solutions and services for Insulating Gas Management, which meet the demands of SF6 applications today and the Eco gas alternatives of tomorrow.

 

Our solutions portfolio for Gas Analysis is designed to aid operators in three main application areas:

  1. to ensure gas purity and concentration is in line with OEM guidelines for safe and efficient use of the asset
  2. to measure impurities/contaminants and breakdown products in the asset; why/where they have originated; and how that may affect the operation of the asset
  3. to protect operators’ safety, health and wellbeing; gas leak detection

EMT’s products and services deliver a total SF6 management solution to ensure you have everything you need to keep your SF6 operations running smoothly.
