Service Details

Vacuum pumping of GIS gas compartments is a mandatory and critical process before SF₆ gas filling. Any residual air or moisture inside the compartment can severely reduce dielectric strength, cause partial discharge, and shorten equipment life.

EngineerBari™ performs controlled deep vacuum pumping using high-capacity vacuum pumps and calibrated instruments, strictly following IEC standards and OEM procedures.
