Helium leak detection system for gas-insulated switchgears
Accurately detecting leaks within high-performance gas-insulated switchgears is critical to maintain operational integrity and safety. Engineers face the challenge of ensuring high sensitivity and reliability while minimizing environmental impact and integrating leak detection seamlessly into production lines.

Evaluate tightness and ensure reliability
The Telstar Leakstar is a state-of-the-art helium leak detection system designed specifically for high-sensitivity applications. This system employs a Mass Spectrometer Leak Detector connected directly to the vacuum line of a vacuum chamber, ensuring precise detection down to a leak rate of 10^-8 mbar∙L/s. The Leakstar is equipped with a compact and ergonomic design for easy maintenance and integrates fully into production lines with options for automatic calibration verification and automated connection tooling. It is adaptable with multiple chambers and additional accessories such as part vacuum pumps, a helium recovery system, flow test, pressure test, valve operation check, and more. The LEAKSTAR® Control System features a touch screen for manual control and a SCADA application for enhanced traceability. This makes it an excellent choice for industries like gas-insulated switchgears (GIS) and the automotive sector, where high reliability and environmental sustainability are paramount.
