Abstract :
Rapid growth of the national power networks in the early 1950s prompted interest in the development of power equipment utilising high-vacuum technology and the then relatively unknown electronegative gas sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). This article describes the properties and potentials of SF6 leading to its takeover from air and oil as an interrupting and insulating medium
