Container for storing and transporting a dielectric insulation medium

A container for storing and transporting a dielectric insulation medium, the container comprising:

• a container interior, in which the dielectric insulation medium is contained, and
• connecting means for connecting the container to an electrical apparatus of medium or high voltage and for filling a housing of the electrical apparatus with the dielectric insulation medium,
• said dielectric insulation medium being a mixture of:
• an organofluorine compound or a mixture of organofluorine compounds as component A, the molar percentage of component A in the dielectric insulation medium being in a range from 1 to 15 mol %, and
• a carrier gas component or a mixture of carrier gas components other than an organofluorine compound as component B,
• component A being a perfluoroketone and/or a perfluoronitrile and the component B comprising nitrogen, the molar percentage of nitrogen in the dielectric insulation medium being at least 65 mol %, and
• the container being provided with a temperature indicator allowing that the minimum storage and transportation temperature of the container is equal or higher than the cricondentherm of the insulation medium.
