Claim:
1. An apparatus for the generation, the distribution and/or the usage of electrical energy, said apparatus comprising a housing enclosing an insulating space and an electrical component arranged in the insulating space, said insulating space containing a dielectric insulation gas comprising an organofluorine compound A, the apparatus further comprising a molecular sieve arranged such as to come into contact with the insulation gas, the molecular sieve having an average pore size y greater than the molecular size of at least one decomposition product of the organofluorine compound A generated during operation of the apparatus, the adsorption capability and/or absorption capability of the molecular sieve for the organofluorine compound A being lower than for the at least one decomposition product, characterized in that the apparatus further comprises at least one desiccant arranged such as to come into contact with the insulation gas and in that the at least one desiccant is different from the molecular sieve, wherein the desiccant is not aluminium, aluminium oxide, activated alumina, activated carbon, zeolite, or combinations thereof, further characterized in that the apparatus includes at least one permeable sachet arranged in the insulation space containing at least one of the molecular sieve and the desiccant.
