2. Safety

Protective gloves

Based on the gas properties, it is possible that the gas, due to the quick

expansion, gets very cold if the cylinder is opened very quickly.

Wear protective gloves to protect from freezing.

If, with an operator risk analysis, contaminated gases should be detected, for

any subsequent maintenance operations, protective measures appropriate to the

contamination should be taken.

Respirator

For maintenance work, the respirator must correspond to the protection

level specified for the corresponding gas in the material safety data sheet.

Protective suit

For maintenance operations, specific protective clothing must be worn

during the entire duration. The protective clothing protects the body from

contaminated SF₆ gas. The operator must select the specific protective

clothing correspondingly.

General safety instructions

Contents of the general safety instructions

This chapter deals with the general safety in the handling of SF

6

gas and the SF

6

gas

lling cart. The safety instructions relevant for the task can be found at the start of the

respective chapters (e.g. transport, commissioning, ...) and must be followed.

Handling SF₆ gas

SF₆ gas is a greenhouse gas which is listed in the Kyoto Protocol. SF6 gas must not be

released into the atmosphere, but must be collected in suitable containers.

Properties of SF6 gas

■

Colourless and odourless

■

Chemically neutral

■

Inert

■

Not flammable

■

Five times heavier than air

■

Non-toxic

■

No damage to the ozone layer

Detailed information is given in IEC 60376 and IEC 61634.

Risk of asphyxiation through SF6 gas

High concentrations of SF₆ gas can lead to asphyxiation, since breathable air is

displaced from the lungs with the inhalation of SF₆ gas.Since SF₆ gas is heavier than air,

it collects, especially, at ground level or lower-lying rooms below the reference level (e.g.

cellars). This is particularly dangerous since SF6 gas is colourless and odourless and

thus may be imperceptable to people.

Danger caused by decomposition products

SF₆ gas in electrical systems may contain decomposition products generated by electric

arcs:

■

Gaseous sulphur fluoride

■

Sulphur hexafluoride

■

Solid and atomized metal fluorides, metal sulfides, metal oxides

■

Hydrogen fluoride

■

Sulphur dioxide

Decomposition products can be harmful to health.

■

They can cause poisoning by inhalation, ingestion or contact with the skin.

■

They may be irritating to the eyes, the respiratory system or the skin and burn them.

■

Inhalation of large quantities may damage the lungs.

Observe the following safety instructions in order to avoid danger from SF₆ gas:

■

Wear personal protective equipment.

■

Read the material safety data sheet of the gas supplier.

■

Ensure good ventilation.

■

Ensure the leak tightness of the equipment with a gas detector (e.g. model GIR-10).

Use of accessories and spare parts

It is recommended to use original accessories and original spare parts from WIKA.

Using accessories and spare parts from third parties can lead to damage to the

instrument or accidents, due to quality defects or other reasons.WIKA assumes no

liability for damage or accidents caused by a malfunction or unsuitability of accessories

and spare parts which do not originate from WIKA (e.g. unsealed connecting parts). No

guarantee claims can be made which arise due to a malfunction or unsuitability of any

accessory or spare part from a third party.

Danger of tripping due to improper installation of connections

Improperly installed connections such as cables, hoses or pipelines can create tripping

hazards, and can cause serious injury.

Route the connections so that no tripping sources are present. Mark unavoidable

tripping sources with yellow and black marker tape.

2.8 Residual risks

What are residual risks?

The instrument has been designed so that no personnel are exposed to preventable

risks. Particular hazard points are protected through specific protective systems.

In the operating instructions, the safety instructions refer to these hazard points and the

necessary behaviour of the personnel in order to minimise risks arising from the hazard

points.

gas

lling can be made. The 10 m³/h vacuum pump, built into the models GFU08-E and

GFU08-C as standard, enables a fast evacuation down to < 0.02 mbar (0.015 Torr).

For larger volumes, suction of up to 40 m³/h is available as an option. With 2-stage

pumps, the nal pressure can be reduced as far as 2 x 10

-3

mbar. The risk of either

too high humidity or air concentration in the SF

6

gas compartment is therefore not a

consideration.With the models GFU08-W and GFU08-C, gas cylinder scales are built

in, which enable the exact determination of the amount of SF

6

gas lled. Thus, the SF

6

gas lling cart is an ideal tool for using the mass-balance method in accordance with the

IPCC directive for the preparation of emission reports.The special, at design of the load

cell under the gas cylinder allows easy loading and unloading of the heavy cylinder by

only one person.

5. Transport, packaging and storage

5.1 Transport

Check the SF

6

gas lling cart for any damage that may have been caused by transport.

Obvious damage must be reported immediately.

5.2 Packaging

Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.Keep the packaging, as it provides

optimum protection during transport (e.g. change in operating site, sending for repair).

5.3 Storage

To store the optional components of vacuum pump or scales, the respective operating

instructions must be observed.

The SF

6

gas lling carts are tested for fault-free functioning and packed in our factory.

The connections are sealed with plastic protection caps or adhesive foil.

Unless otherwise stated, the protection caps and the adhesive foils must be removed

before commissioning.

■

Only store the SF

6

gas lling cart in an upright position

■

Move the lling cart exclusively by means of the transport handle

Permissible conditions at the place of storage:

■

Storage temperature: 0 ... 60 °C

■

Humidity: 67 % relative humidity (no condensation)

Avoid exposure to the following factors:

■

Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects

■

Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)

■

Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases

■

Hazardous environments, ammable atmospheres

6. Commissioning, operation

Commissioning must only be carried out by trained skilled personnel. The leak tightness

of the SF

6

gas filling cart has been completely checked ex works before delivery using

pure SF

6

gas at a transport pressure of approx. 200 mbar. This transport filling of approx.

200 mbar can be measured between the gas cylinder connection and initial pressure

gauge.
