A gas insulated apparatus includes: a grounded metal tank in which an insulating gas is enclosed; a conductor disposed in the tank, voltage being applied to the conductor; and a non-linear resistance layer disposed on at least part of an inner surface of the tank and made from an insulating material containing a particle of a non-linear resistance material, the non-linear resistance material being conductive when voltage higher than or equal to a threshold is applied. The non-linear resistance layer has a thickness that is larger than a sum of a thickness of a conductive portion and a particle diameter of the non-linear resistance material, the conductive portion being a portion of the non-linear resistance layer that is conductive when voltage higher than or equal to the threshold is applied to a metal foreign object on the non-linear resistance layer.

A gas monitoring system includes a gas-insulated switchgear, wherein the gas-insulated switch gear has at least two separated chambers which are filled with an insulating gas surrounding high or medium voltage components. A first sensor is connected to the first chamber and a second sensor is connected to the second chamber, both sensors adapted to measure a physical property of the insulating gas in their respective chambers over time. A computer unit is adapted to calculate from the two sensor measurements a leakage rate of the insulating gas in one of the two chambers using an adaptive filter, in particular a Wiener filter.

A valve gas filter includes: a valve box attached to a gas enclosing port connected to a gas-insulated device to be filled with an insulating gas and hermetically sealed; and a valve body that opens and closes a gas passage by moving in the valve box, in which the valve body includes a gas filter, which is formed by a porous insulating material and allows passage of an insulating gas but does not allow passage of foreign matter contained in the insulating gas.

A gas-insulated electrical apparatus according to the present invention comprises a grounded tank, a conductor placed inside the grounded tank, and an insulation gas filling the grounded tank. The insulation gas is a mixed gas comprising a first gas mainly responsible for insulation performance and having a global warming potential less than 6500, and a second gas having a small molecular weight, a low insulation performance, and a low global warming potential, as compared to the first gas. The insulation performance of the insulation gas is lower than the insulation performance of the first gas at a same pressure.
