SF6 Gas Monitoring Solutions by WIKA

The power transmission industry increasingly needs sustainability, operational efficiency, and safety. SF6 Gas Monitoring Solutions by WIKA, a leader in providing solutions for safely handling SF6 and other gases, is at the forefront of meeting these challenges. As ELECRAMA 2025 approaches, WIKA India is set to showcase its contributions to modernising the power segment, mainly through its gas management technologies.

ELECRAMA 2025: A global meeting point for power transmission experts

ELECRAMA 2025, planned to take place from February 22nd–26th’ 2025, at the India Expo Mart, will be a significant event for professionals in the power transmission sector. WIKA India, one of the leading power solutions providers, will also be a part of this major event. It is an excellent opportunity for WIKA India to demonstrate its role in enhancing power transmission safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The company will showcase advanced SF6 Gas Monitoring solutions and products for safely handling SF6 and other gases. This includes digital monitoring of switchgear, gas detectors, and calibration services.

WIKA India’s SF6 Gas Monitoring Solutions: A key to power transmission efficiency

The power transmission industry is facing many operational and environmental pressures. SF6, commonly used in switchgear for insulation and arc-quenching, has a high Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it essential to manage. 

WIKA India’s SF6 Gas Monitoring Solutions offers advanced solutions for safe SF6 handling, minimising emissions, and ensuring system reliability.

The GDM-RC-100 gas density monitor maintains optimal SF6 levels in switchgear, preventing leakage and ensuring insulation. It is described as a “leakage detection system” for SF6-filled switchgear containing 22 kgs or more of SF6 gas, demonstrating compliance with regulatory standards.

During ELECRAMA 2025, WIKA India will highlight these solutions, showcasing their impact on emission reduction and transmission reliability. For example, the GDHT-20 transmitter from WIKA India simultaneously measures the gas density and humidity, factors that play a crucial role in SF6 performance. Monitoring enables early issue detection, prevents failures, and boosts system efficiency.

Digital monitoring: Proactive maintenance for power transmission systems

As digitalisation takes centre stage in power transmission, SF6 Gas Monitoring Solutions is embracing Industrial IoT (IIoT) technology to improve grid monitoring and performance. IIoT solutions enable operators to collect real-time data on gas density, pressure, temperature, and humidity. This real-time data detects potential issues before they escalate into significant failures, improving system reliability and reducing downtime.

The SF6 Gas Monitoring Asset Protection system, integrated with IIoT technology, helps shift maintenance from reactive to proactive. Continuous monitoring and analysis of critical parameters give operators the insights to take timely action and prevent equipment failures, ensuring smooth operations across the power transmission network.

Sustainability and regulatory compliance

With the power transmission sector under pressure to reduce emissions, WIKA India’s SF6 Gas Monitoring Solutions is helping operators meet regulatory standards and sustainability goals. The GDM-RC-100 and GDHT-20 transmitter products are essential in minimising SF6 emissions and helping power transmission operators comply with environmental regulations while maintaining safe and efficient grid operations.

SF6 Gas Monitoring Solutions offers repairs for calibration, field support, and diaphragm seal systems. These services ensure that monitoring instruments remain accurate and reliable, maintaining operational excellence and longevity of power transmission systems.

ELECRAMA 2025: Networking and collaboration opportunities

ELECRAMA 2025 offer a key opportunity for networking, knowledge sharing, and business growth within the power segment. With the Reverse Buyer-Seller Meet (RBSM) facilitating connections between international buyers and Indian manufacturers, WIKA India will have a chance to expand its global network and explore new business possibilities.

The exhibition will also feature essential discussions on the future of energy, sustainability, and digital solutions. This platform will allow WIKA India to engage with industry experts, showcasing how SF6 Gas Monitoring Solutions is addressing the evolving challenges of the power transmission sector and driving forward innovation.

The future of power transmission

As the power transmission industry faces increasing pressure to innovate and adapt, the SF6 Gas Monitoring Solutions by WIKA India is providing the tools needed for safer, more efficient, and sustainable grid management. With products like the GDM-RC-100 and GDHT-20, WIKA India is helping operators reduce SF6 emissions, improve system reliability, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

ELECRAMA 2025 will serve as a key platform for WIKA India to showcase its contributions to the power transmission sector, highlighting how SF6 Gas Monitoring Solutions is helping the industry meet its challenges and drive the future of energy transmission.
