SF6 (or in simple notation SF6) - gas used for high-voltage insulation.

The gas is much better electrical insulator than air, and enables gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) installations to be more compact than air-insulated (AIS) alternatives. The footprint of GIS substations can be up to 70% smaller than AIS substations.1)
