Abstract: An instrument transformer of a type designed for using an insulation medium containing SF6, said instrument transformer including a housing enclosing an insulation space and further including an electrical active part arranged in the insulation space, said insulation space containing a dielectric insulation medium. The instrument transformer is characterized in that the dielectric insulation medium contains a gaseous mixture including from 3 to 5 mol-% of heptafluoroisobutyronitrile, from 4 to 11 mol-% of oxygen (O2) and from 84 to 93 mol-% of nitrogen (N2).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for re-establishing an electrical apparatus of medium or high voltage. The method includes providing an electrical apparatus designed for using an insulation medium containing SF6, removing SF6 from an insulation space contained in the apparatus and filling an alternative insulation medium into the insulation space, wherein the alternative insulation medium is a mixture of at least one organofluorine compound A and a carrier gas containing nitrogen.

Abstract: An insulation material for a DC electrical component. The insulation material includes a thermoset or thermoplastic matrix and a functional filler component. The functional filler component has a non-linear DC conductivity depending on an applied electrical field strength. At least in a temperature range of 0° C. to 120° C., the functional filler component has a bandgap in the range of 2 to 5 eV, and optionally in the range of 2 to 4 eV. Furthermore, a method for producing an insulation material, a use of an insulation material for a high voltage DC electrical component, a DC electrical component comprising the insulation material and the use of a DC electrical component comprising the insulation material in a high voltage DC gas insulated device are suggested.
