What will I learn from this course?
  • Understand the general characteristics of SF6 & CF4 gases
  • Master near impact on our environment
  • Know how to recover, drain the SF6 to vacuum, their refill a compartment under SF6 gas
  • Apply the specific safety rules during the gas recovery operations
Topics

Theoretical part (modules A, B and C)

  • Environment and SF6-CF4 gases
  • Sulphur Hexafluoride SF6 and Carbon Tetrafluoride CF4
  • Electrical equipment and fluorinated gases
  • Gas qualities
