The Regional Sales Manager West Africa, Eaton Powering Business Worldwide, Charles Iyo, has called on Nigeria and African governments

to take proactive steps and implement regulations to stop the use of sulphur hexafluoride gas in electrical appliances.

“Governments in Africa, Nigeria specifically, need to stand up to the challenge. We are overdue for new regulations. All electrical industry stakeholders must collaborate on this to ensure that regulations are adhered to while the future is protected,” he said.He said switchgear provides overcurrent and short circuit protection to downstream assets, but in recent years, a concern that is unconnected with operational effectiveness has come to the fore.

“At the root of the problem is Sulphur Hexafluoride, more commonly known as SF6, which has been used as an insulator and arc extinguisher in some medium- and high-voltage switchgear for the past 50 years.
