Cambridge Sensotec Launches Battery Powered Rapidox SF6 Gas Analyser

The Rapidox SF₆ IR portable gas analyser is the latest high precision instrument designed for controlling and monitoring the quality of SF₆ in Gas Insulated Substations and circuit breakers. The gas analyser will measure SF₆ over the full range in a balance gas. Fitted with an internal battery pack, the Rapidox provides up to eight hours use on a single charge. This allows the user to carry out a full day’s maintenance before returning to base to charge. The unit can be used while charging allowing for continuous operation if necessary. The gas analyser measures SF₆ (0-100%) using an infra-red SF₆ detector. This top of the range infra-red card offers exceptional accuracy and stability when measuring the purity of SF₆ over the full range.

All SF₆ readings can be data logged and just a few minutes are required to get a stable reading, allowing the user to quickly take measurements before moving to the next testing site. Data can also be logged internally at a rate set by the user for later downloading to a PC. Internally logged data is retained even when powered off. The Rapidox has a gas output nozzle allowing all sampled gas to be recovered and recycled, ensuring that no SF₆ gas is released into the atmosphere (in accordance with the Kyoto agreement). Available as a bench style instrument or as a full kit in a transport suitcase, with a range of DILO compatible sampling hoses, couplings and a printer. Rapidox SF₆ Gas Recovery Bags are also available to ensure no gas escapes when using the Rapidox gas analyser.
