Technologies
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.

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.
