1.0 Climate Change & Related Issue
In recent years, the environment has become a very
important issue as unpredictable weather causes a lot of
chaos and poses a serious threat to life on earth.
Scientists have identified and recorded the following
phenomenal and alarming signs on earth :
• Global Warming
• Polar Ice Melting
• Unusual/ Unpredictable Weather Patterns
• Heat Storm/ Flooding
• Forest fires

3.0 Major Green House Gases
Among all the six(6) greenhouse gases identified in Kyoto Protocol, the following are of most critical
greenhouse gases :
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
• Sulfur-HexaFlouride (SF6) Gas

4.0 Property & Uses of SF6 Gas
• SF6 Gas does not exist naturally – it is a synthetic gas and industrially produced
• It has a very good arc quenching and electrical insulation property
• It is currently widely used in HV Electrical Equipment as it allows the equipment to be very
compact.
• Unfortunately, SF6 Gas is a greenhouse gas and also very toxic when combusted
• It is the most potent among all 6 greenhouse gas listed in Kyoto Protocol
• It has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) 23,000 times that of CO2 Gas
• Life span of SF6 gas on Earth is about 3200 years compared to 250 years for CO2 gas.
• SF6 Gas is very difficult & almost impossible to disintegrate/ destroy in our life time
The future is SOLID
Bulox leading the way for a SOLID future...
5.0 Reduction / Elimination of SF6 Gas
• As Society progresses, energy consumptions increases,
production of SF6 increases and this MUST be reduced and/
or eventually eliminated.
• The UN Inter-Government Panel of Climate Change (IPCC)
has classified SF6 Gas as one of the most harmful greenhouse
gas and must be reduced immediately.
• As a consequence of IPCC studies, the EU and other major
countries Worldwide started to pass legislation and discourage
the use of SF6 gas.
• We believed it is just a matter of time before all HV Electrical
Equipment must STOP using SF6 Gas altogether – when an
alternative solution can be found.

6.0 An Alternative to SF6 Gas – Solid Insulation
• Use of Special cast resin materials for HV insulations
• Properties of cast resin materials: Anti-Cracking Ability – passed severe thermal shock test , long term
durability
Excellent Electrical Insulation – typical use in many HV applications
Thermal Conductivity – enable heat to be dissipated out easily
Mechanically Strong & Anti-Aging Ability – suitable for severe long term use.
Easy to handle and mould – Safe to touch accidently.
Environmental Friendly - made from sustainable & recyclable materials

• Environment Friendly – No toxic SF6 greenhouse gases, materials made from sustainable
source & fully recyclable.
• Extremely Safe – all active components are fully casted & grounded, Iso-Phase – minimized
internal arc fault risks, safe to accidental touch
• Very Reliable – drastic reduction of mechanical components - simple & modular in construction,
less environment influence, simple & reliable operation
• Permanent Magnetic Actuator (PMA) instead of Spring-Charged Mechanisms – very reliable &
no maintenance required
• Lesser secondary and standby battery power requirements - due to use of PMA and/ or shunt
operation.
• Compact, Lightweight, Modular & Extensible – allowing easy Site Installation or Modifications
Works, etc
• No Gas- Related issue – no requirements for additional gas monitoring system, vacuum/ gas-
fillings at site, gas leakages, etc
• Maintenance-Free Operation - hardly need any maintenance at all – when installed in a proper (
preferably aircond ) environment
