Environmental ConcernsSafety ConcernsSpecial Handling ProceduresInstallation ConcernsOperation and Maintenance ConcernsEnd of Life and Recycling ConcernsThe insulating gas used in MV GIS switchgear,sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), is a highly potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 23,900 times greater than CO2. SF6 also has an atmospheric life of 3,200 years, so it will contribute to global warming for a very long time.

From the figure, it is seen that the radial and axial E field levels computed for the bus section model, at a radial distance (R) of 3 m, axially located at the middle of
