The sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas is an electronegative gas that is widely used as the primary insulator and/or arc quencher in high voltage equipment such as switchgears. SF6 gas also attributes colorless, non-combustible, non-toxic and thermally steady properties in its pure state. Despite its advantages, SF6 gas is categorized as one of the greenhouse gases thus, leads to environmental concerns.
