Toshiba SF6 Gas-insulated Transformer

Since the first delivery of SF6 gas-insulated transformers in 1967, TOSHIBA predicted immense future prospects for this type of transformer that utilizes the features of SF6 gas known for its non-flammability and coordinative ability with environmental conditions. Since then, coupled with incessantly continued research and development activities, TOSHIBA has accumulated abundant experience in delivering large-capacity gas-insulated transformers. SF6 gas-insulated transformers are characterized by their outstanding non-flammability, insulation effects and safety. Additionally, SF6 gas-insulated switchgear incorporates the most advanced SF6 gas application techniques. Fully gas-insulated substations, adopting a combination of these transformers and switchgear, offer extra ease for safety assurance, accident prevention and ease of inspection/maintenance. Concurrently, substations of this type are ideal for applications involving the needs for prevention of environment pollution, or compactness of installation spaces. Such substations are expected to lead the future trend.
