Premium portable Rapidox SF6 6100 for on-site quality control of sulfur hexafluoride insulation.
Overview
The Rapidox SF6 6100 Portable is a portable analyser from the British company Cambridge Sensotec for monitoring SF6 quality in medium and high voltage gas-insulated equipment. It is the lightest field model in the range: 8.5 kg including the case.
The instrument measures SF6 purity, moisture and decomposition products. The configuration is modular, with up to eight gases per instrument. Compartment gas pressure is logged together with the results.
Why analyse SF6
Arcing and partial discharge break SF6 down. Decomposition products are toxic and attack insulation, and moisture lowers dielectric strength. Regular analysis finds internal defects before failure, confirms gas quality after filling and helps assess the hazard before a compartment is opened.
SF6 is a greenhouse gas and must not be vented, so the sample from the Rapidox SF6 6100 Portable is collected in a bag.
How a measurement works
- Connect with self-sealing tongue-and-groove couplings compatible with major equipment brands.
- Gas flows through the analyser on compartment pressure, up to 10 bar. For sources at atmospheric pressure, an optional pump is fitted.
- All gases are measured and logged simultaneously; a stable reading takes a few minutes.
- The spent sample goes to the gas recovery bag.
- Results are printed on the built-in thermal printer and exported to a USB stick.
