The global society depends on reliable, economical and sustainable systems of energy generation, transmission and distribution. The realization of these systems is the common goal of future-oriented transmission system operators (TSOs) and distributions system operators (DSOs). SF_6 is today's most applied gas for switching and insulation in high voltage equipment, with excellent technical characteristics, but also strong global warming potential (GWP). Due to this fact, TSOs and DSOs handle the gas with maximum care. For further improvement of sustainability new innovative products are required: on the one hand with the well-known performance and reliability, on the other hand with the lowest possible global warming impact. To achieve this "mission impossible" the two main functions "switching" and "insulation" were separated.
