Premium portable Rapidox SF6 6100 for on-site quality control of sulfur hexafluoride insulation.
Description
The Rapidox SF6 6100 is a premium portable gas analyzer from Cambridge Sensotec (United Kingdom), designed for monitoring and controlling the quality of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) insulating gas in medium- and high-voltage gas-insulated electrical equipment.
Purpose and Applications
What is SF6 insulating gas?
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is an inert gas with exceptional dielectric properties, used in:
- High-voltage circuit breakers — as an arc-quenching medium
- Gas-insulated lines (GIL) — as insulation
- Transformers — as a cooling and insulating medium
- Switchgear — for compactness and reliability
Why is SF6 quality control necessary?
The quality of insulating gas is critical for:
- Equipment safety — moisture and impurities reduce dielectric strength
- Failure prevention — decomposition products indicate arcing
- Standards compliance — IEC 60480 and CIGRE require regular monitoring
- Environmental safety — SF6 is a potent greenhouse gas
Key Features
Analysis of up to 8 gases simultaneously
The Rapidox SF6 6100 can simultaneously measure up to 8 different gases:
- SF6 — primary concentration 0-100%
- H2O — moisture (dew point -60°C to +20°C)
- SO2 — sulfur dioxide (decomposition product)
- H2S — hydrogen sulfide (decomposition product)
- CO — carbon monoxide
- CF4 — carbon tetrafluoride
- Additional gases — upon customer request
7-inch touchscreen display
- Full-color touch screen — color touchscreen
- 180 mm size — excellent readability
- Intuitive interface — ease of use
- Multilingual — Russian, English and other languages
Portability and protection
- IP66 — full protection against dust and water jets
- Peli case — rugged case with wheels and handle
- 8.5 kg weight — easy to carry
- 8-hour battery — a full working shift
