Circuit Breaker SF6 Leak Repair / OCB Oil Leak Repair by TDS
SF6 gas is expensive and has been designated a "greenhouse" gas by the EPA. Therefore, it
is important for electrical utilities to control circuit breaker SF6 leaks. TDS has a vast
amount of experience repairing SF6 leaks on circuit breakers and additional components of
Gas Insulated Substations (i.e. piping, flange connections and seam welds). The skilled
technicians of TDS can address all sources of SF6 leaks, resulting in large cost
savings for the utility by avoiding component disassembly and associated downtime.
Circuit Breaker SF6 Gas Leak Detection
Accurate detection of an SF6 leak is required in order for TDS to propose a
repair method. Traditional circuit breaker SF6 leak detection methods can
sometimes be unreliable. Click the link below for details on a new infrared
scanning technique that has proved very useful for detecting SF 6 leaks in
circuit breakers.

Typical SF6 Gas Circuit Breaker Leak Repairs
SF6 circuit breaker leaks typically occur between the porcelain and
base mounting flange or at bushing end cap locations. Click the links
below for details on how TDS technicians can reliably repair these
leaks with custom designed clamps and our rubber-based, non-adhering
leak sealant.

Oil Circuit Breaker Leak Repair
Oil circuit breaker leaks are repaired in much the same way as transformer
oil leaks. Leak locations are at OCB bushings and drain valves can be reliably
repaired with drill and inject procedures or custom designed enclosures or clamps
injected with our rubber-based, non-adhering sealant. Click the links below for
details on these procedures.
