2. Under pure state, SF6 is colorless, odorless, non-toxic and incombustible inert gas. When the air we breathe has sufficient oxygen, SF6 is safe, and will cause no damage to the ecological system, but the air in the gas chamber that has been operated and generated electric arc will generate toxic substances, so it shall be recycled during the repair.

WARNINGS

1. In order to prevent falling damage, except for professionals conducting equipment inspection, it is prohibited from climbing, sitting, leaning, or standing on GIS equipment.

2. Do not remove the bypass line or wiring terminal of the equipment, otherwise it will cause the electric shock, burning or death of personnel. When the bypass line or wiring terminal must be removed for maintenance or repair (must be professional maintenance personnel), it is requested to ensure that the main circuit power supply disconnects, and the grounding line or capacitance is adopted. After completing the maintenance and repair work and before transmitting power to the main circuit, reliably install the bypass pole and grounding terminal.

3. Do not enter the breaker arc-extinguishing chamber, unless it has been confirmed that the internal environment has good ventilation and contains at least 18% oxygen. Since the breaker arc-extinguishing chamber is filled with SF6 gas under normal conditions, in case that the oxygen content and ventilation conditions thereof are uncertain, working personnel will be subject to dyspnea and even suffocation due to the unpleasant smell.

4. In order to prevent the damage incurred by the fast release of SF6 gas, do not loosen the air release valve of the pressure accumulator; if so, it will cause the eruption of high-pressure SF6 gas (at least 14MPa) or other parts via the release of internal gas pressure.

5. Except for professionals, do not loosen or open GIS door/cover plate under the repair/emergency conditions. When the door or cover plate is opened, professionals shall not touch the inner elements of the equipment, because they may have residual charge; during the maintenance period, it will still cause the damage of hands or other body parts as well as the personnel inside the unit, in case of careless startup via remote control.
