19.4 Specific recommendations for the "SF6 gas" type circuit breaker and load break switch
Recuperate the SF6 gas
using a recuperation unit.
F Dismantle the interrupting poles
with the specific tools,
compulsory protections, and all
this in a specific room.
F Clean the components before
their elimination.
F On disassembly, the materials
must be sorted and sent on via
the appropriate recycling
channels.
