8.0             Environmental Impact

Transformers contain oil, which will be contained in a catchment bund in case of leakage. The 132kV circuit breakers use SF6 gas as a current breaking medium. GIS switchgear also contains SF6 gas as an insulating and current breaking medium. SF6 gas is non-toxic in normal situations, however after a fault clearance the byproducts of SF6 gas decomposition are very toxic and special precautions must be taken when servicing the interruption chambers of these circuit breakers. Safety procedures set out in Company SPs will be followed when handling SF6 gas and in the event of gas leakage.
