Temperature compensated pressure switch

This product is installed in Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) and Gas Circuit Breaker (GCB) of nuclear / thermal / hydraulic power stations to monitor the pressure and density of SF6 gas that is an electric insulating medium for 24 hours.  In the present world in which a great deal of attention is attracted to global warming and environmental destruction, the demand for this product to monitor the emission of SF6 gas specified as greenhouse effect gas to the air is gradually increasing both in Japan and overseas。
