Mechanical, electronic, algorithmic, and computer network facets are combined to create a highly integrated advanced gas sensor. A sensor is integrated into switchgear housings. These sensors integrated into high voltage switchgear products, deployed by electric utility end users in replacement and expansion cycles, function to detect and mitigate atmospheric pollution caused by leaking SF.sub.6. As its associated gas insulated tank is charged with 10 to 350 lbs. of SF.sub.6, each gas sensor monitors its local cache of gas, accurately sensing and computing fractional percentage losses (emissions) and gains (maintenance replacement) in SF.sub.6 mass, storing data in onboard data logs, and communicating data when triggered by detection events or in response to remote requests over a hierarchical communications network, a process that continues without labor until a fractional leak is automatically detected and reported creating the opportunity for early leak mitigation.

The application provides a gas density relay with online self-check function and its check method, including a gas density relay body, a first pressure sensor, a second pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a gas chamber, a pressure regulating mechanism, an online check contact signal sampling unit and an intelligent control unit. The air path of the pressure regulating mechanism is connected to the gas pressure chamber and the second pressure sensor; Pressure rise and fall can be regulated through the pressure regulating mechanism to make the gas density relay body contact action. The contact action is transmitted to the intelligent control unit through the online check contact signal sampling unit. The intelligent control unit detects the action value and/or return value of the contact signal of the gas density relay body according to the density value when the contact acts, and completes the check work without requiring maintainer to go to the site for check. At the same time, because the pressure regulating mechanism is not connected to the SF6 gas path of the gas density relay body or electrical equipment, its sealing requirements are reduced, the reliability of the power grid is improved, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
