SF<sub>6</sub> gas has excellent dielectric strength and interruption performance. For these reasons, it has been widely used for gas insulated switchgear (GIS). However, use of SF<sub>6</sub> gas has become regulated under agreements set at the 1997 COP3. So investigation and development for GIS with a lower amount of SF<sub>6</sub> gas are being carried out worldwide. Presently, SF<sub>6</sub> gas-free GIS has been commercialized for the 24kV class. Air or N<sub>2</sub> gas is used as insulation gas for this GIS. On the other hand, SF<sub>6</sub> gas-free GIS has not been commercialized for 72kV class GIS. Dielectric strengths of air and N<sub>2</sub> gas are approximately 1/3 that of SF<sub>6</sub> gas. So to enhance insulation performance of air and N<sub>2</sub>, we have investigated a hybrid gas insulation system which has the combined features of providing an insulation coating and suitable insulation gas. We have developed the world's first 72kV SF<sub>6</sub> gas-free GIS.<br>This paper deals with key technologies for SF<sub>6</sub> gas-free GIS such as the hybrid insulation structure, bellows for the high pressure vacuum circuit breaker, a newly designed disconnector and spacer and prevention of particle levitation. Test results of 72kV high pressure air-insulated GIS with the vacuum circuit breaker are described.
