As the power industry transitions from SF₆ towards alternative insulating gases, utilities face an increasingly complex testing landscape. Supporting different gases can mean additional analysers, calibration schedules, maintenance requirements and operator training - all adding to the true cost of a testing programme.

EMT believes this means utilities should be asking a bigger question:

What is the true cost of your test strategy?

Zerowaste Rapide Eco+ is the world’s first portable 4-in-1 analyser for SF₆, C4-FN, Natural Origin Gases and Dry Air, bringing multiple gas analysis requirements together within one future-ready platform.

By replacing the need for up to four separate analysers, Zerowaste Eco+ can help utilities reduce capital expenditure by up to 75% while simplifying equipment fleets, training and calibration requirements.

But capital cost is only part of the equation.

Designed for field productivity, Zerowaste Eco+ delivers results in as little as 2 minutes, with no lengthy warm-up or waiting between tests. Eliminating the need to switch between separate analysers can help deliver up to 4× greater testing productivity, enabling engineers to work more efficiently and make faster decisions in the field.

Advanced IR sensing technology is backed by a lifetime warranty on IR sensors, alongside a five-year SO₂ sensor life. Calibration can also be completed without routinely shipping equipment back to the factory, helping customers maintain equipment availability and take greater control of their calibration programmes.

Crucially, Zerowaste Eco+ has been developed for an industry in transition. Its multi-gas capability enables utilities to support existing SF₆ assets while preparing testing programmes for alternative insulating gases and evolving network requirements.

It’s not just about the analyser. It’s about everything else that comes with it.

Multiple instruments can mean multiple assets to purchase, maintain and calibrate, additional training and more equipment to manage in the field.

Zerowaste Eco+ offers a different approach:

One analyser. One calibration programme. One training requirement. One investment.

Visitors to Power Transmission & Distribution Technology Expo 2026 can see Zerowaste Rapide Eco+ on EMT stand 11015 and speak with the team about taking a Total Cost of Ownership approach to their gas analysis strategy.

Don’t just ask what an analyser costs to buy or calibrate. Ask what your entire test strategy costs to own.
