Temperature Compensation

The dielectric strength and electric arc elimination capability of gas insulated systems is determined by the gas density. This may on no
account fall below the planned minimum value as it would involve an explosive destruction of the system. Gas insulated systems are often
set up outdoors and are subject to unsteady environmental influences. Temperatures between -40 C and +70 C are not uncommon.
Also beyond this range special solutions can be realised.

Gas Density Indicator


Pressure gauges with compensated indication
The indication of the actual SF6-gas pressure is adjusted on the basis of the temperature of the instrument, which should correspond
to the temperature of the gas, so that the gas pressure is indicated that would prevail in the gas compartment at same gas density and

Gas Density Monitor


Pressure gauges with compensated indication and electrical accessory
A gas density monitor is a density indicator that is retrofitted by electrical limit switches with magnetic contacts. The bimetal compensation
is dimensioned to a reference isochore of the SF6-gas, the so called calibration pressure pc, which in this application typically corresponds
to the first switching point in falling direction. Calibration pressure, switching point adjustment and scale according to customer specification.

Electric Connection

The circuit diagram presented below shows the electric connection of the DIGPTMvSF6 in complete configuration. The device can also
operate when only partially wired, i. e. without using the RS 485 interface or only partially using the switching outputs or functioning only
as 2-wire between the connections 1 and 2.
