Electrical equipment filled with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) may experience overheating or discharge when there are internal insulation defects, which will cause SF6 to decompose and produce some gaseous by-products. By testing the type and concentration of these by-products, we can determine whether there were insulation defects in electrical equipment and the type and severity of these defects. As an important tool of gas detection, gas sensor had been paid more and more attention in the gas detection method of insulation defects. In this paper, the method of detecting SF6 decomposition products by using gas sensor was reviewed, the dissociation process of SF6 and the generation path of characteristic gas were introduced, and the gas-sensitive principle, advantages, and disadvantages of the sensor used for detecting SF6 decomposition characteristic gas were described in detail. The algorithm for diagnosing insulation defect using characteristic gas information was mainly discussed, and the development direction of using sensors to detect gas decomposition components for insulation defect diagnosis was prospected.
