Why Training?

SF6 (Sulphur Hexafluoride) is an essential insulating gas used in high-voltage electrical equipment — but it also carries significant environmental and safety risks if handled incorrectly. Proper SF6 training ensures that technicians, engineers, and field operators understand how to manage, recover, and recycle the gas safely in compliance with international standards.

Through this training, participants gain hands-on experience in identifying leaks, using specialized gas handling equipment, and implementing preventive measures that protect both personnel and the environment. In addition, trained professionals help organizations maintain regulatory compliance, reduce operational downtime, and extend the lifespan of their electrical systems.

Students will learn:

  • Background & Safety
  • Gas Handling Best Practices
  • How to Operate SF6 Equipment
  • Testing, Filling, and Pulling Vacuum
  • Regulations & Transportation

Students Receive:

  • Certificate of Completion
  • 4 NETA CTD Credits
  • Reporting Template
  • Unlimited Course Access for a Year
