Rapidox SF6 6100 Pump Back Technical Datasheet

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Rapidox SF6 6100 Pump Back is a fully-automatic, zero-emissions SF6 gas analyser designed for high voltage switchgear, circuit breakers, and transformers. It offers exceptional accuracy and stability in measuring SF6 gas purity and is compatible with multiple gases.
Key Features:
  • Fully automatic testing and data logging.
  • Gas cylinder testing mode and multi-language support.
  • Vehicle charger and inbuilt CIGRE & IEC tests.
  • Modular sensor choice and 7” full-colour touchscreen.
  • Vacuum line purge, walk away timer, auto abort, and auto clean functions.
Functionality: The analyser can measure up to eight gases simultaneously, including SF6, CF4, N2, air, and toxic gases like SO2, HF, H2S, and CO. It also measures water content in dewpoint or ppm to ensure gas dryness.
Design and Operation: The device is housed in a durable Peli transport case with self-sealing couplings. It features an auto gas pressure sensing function, vacuum purge cycle, and internal gas storage to prevent contamination and gas escape. A 10 bar compressor returns gas to equipment at high pressure.
Data Handling: Results are displayed on a touchscreen and printed via an integrated thermal printer. Data is logged and can be exported in Excel format via USB.
Specifications:
  • Operating conditions: -10°C to +40°C, 10-90% RH.
  • Warm-up time: 3-4 minutes at 20°C.
  • Battery life: Up to 8 hours with a 4-6 hour charge.
  • Measurement time: 8 minutes.
  • Pressure range: 0.5-10 Bar.
  • Weight: 21kg.
Sensor Specifications: The analyser uses various sensor types, including infrared for SF6 and electrochemical for gases like SO2, HF, H2S, and CO. Calibration is required every 12 months, with sensor life spans ranging from 2-5 years.
Environmental Considerations: SF6 is a greenhouse gas, and its use is regulated under the Kyoto Protocol. Regular analysis is essential to prevent emissions and ensure equipment safety.

Rapidox SF6 6100 Pump Back Technical Datasheet-1

SF6 6100 Pump Back Gas Analyser The Rapidox SF6 6100 Pump Back is a fully-automatic zero-emissions SF6 gas analyser, designed for controlling and monitoring the quality and purity of gas used in high voltage switchgear, circuit breakers and transformers. Exceptional accuracy and stability are provided when measuring the purity of SF6 gas, through specially selected sensors. The modular configuration allows for up to eight compatible gases to be analysed, simultaneously, using one analyser. The Rapidox is fully compatible with mixtures of SF6 CF4, N2 and air, together with toxic contamination gases such as SO2, HF, H2S and CO. The unit also measures the water content of the gas in dewpoint or ppm to ensure dryness is acceptable. The Rapidox SF6 6100 is housed neatly into a tough Peli transport case supplied with special tongue and groove self sealing couplings, which are compatible with famous brands. Once powered and connected, the Rapidox automatically removes a small quantity of gas from the electrical equipment, controlled with an auto gas pressure sensing function. A vacuum purge cycle and internal gas storage system ensures that no air can contaminate the gas sample and that no SF6 gas is able to escape during the testing period. All measured gases are analysed and data-logged simultaneously with only a few minutes required to achieve a stable reading. A powerful 10 bar compressor, with a separate lithium battery power supply, then returns the gas to the electrical equipment at high pressure. Results are displayed on screen and printed using the inbuilt thermal printer. The Rapidox has multiple safety features built in to ensure the cycle is completed correctly without gas loss or cross contamination. The analyser is pre-programmed with all current IEC and CIGRE test configurations, with the ability to create customised test parameters.

Rapidox SF6 6100 Pump Back Technical Datasheet-2

SF6 Gas SF6 is an extremely stable, non-flammable and highly electronegative gas with excellent dielectric properties. It is commonly used in medium and high-voltage electrical equipment as an electrical insulator, arc-quenching and cooling medium. However, SF6 is classified as a greenhouse gas and must be kept within a closed circuit to avoid any deliberate release into the atmosphere. The international Kyoto agreement protocol has mandated reductions to harmful emissions amongst its member states. For the power transmission and distribution network, SF6 technology remains essential. To protect...
