GAS CIRCUIT-BREAKER

              GAS CIRCUIT-BREAKERS

   

       

SF6 circuit breaker is equipped with separated poles each having its own gas. In all types of the circuit

breakers, gas pressure is 2 bars (absolute 3 bars). Even if the pressure drops to I bar, there will not be any change

in the breaking properties of the circuit breaker due to the superior features of SF6 and Elimsan's high safety factor

for the poles. During arcing, the circuit breaker maintains a relatively low pressure (5-6 bars) inside the chamber

and there will be no danger of explosion and spilling of the gas around. Any leakage from the

chamber will not create a problem since SF6 can undergo considerable decomposition, in which some of toxic

products may stay inside the chamber in the form of white dust. If the poles are dismantled for maintenance, it needs

special attention during removal of the parts of the pole. This type of maintenance should be carried out only by the expertsof the manufacturer.
