The SF6 circuit breakers are very effective for high power and
high voltage service.
In cold climates, supplemental heating or de-rating of the
circuit breakers may be required due to liquefaction of the SF6
gas.
ADVANTAGES OF SF 6
High capacity of carrying heat produced by the arc .
Act as an insulating medium like oil and air but the
voltage withstand level is very high ( up to 1000 kV ) as
compared to air and oil .
High radial thermal conduction and high electron
capturing capacity . When the current passes through
zero , the arc is extinguished by the combination of
these two phenomena .
SF6 permit rapid heat from the centre of the arc
towards the exterior .

To ensure that the series contacts share the total recovery
voltage as equally as possible.

Operating Mechanism
(i) Spring Operation
(ii)
Pneumatic operation
For the Air Blast Circuit Breakers , dry air is required for arc
extinction and insulation between contacts special High
Pressure compressors with drier are required and frequent
maintenance and repairs work on compressors are essential .

5. Mechanical Operation
The mechanical operation of the circuit breaker should be
checked by turning the breaker on and off several times.
