Wholesale sf6 circuit breaker in Argentina

What is SF6 breaker?

Sf6 Breakers are widely used in all other power distribution and transmission system. Sf6 breaker is having a tube contained with SF6 gas, the male and female contact mount in that tube. Sf6 gases are having the property to observe free electron. Electrical Arc is nothing but a flow of free electron in the non-conductive medium i.e air.

What are the different types of SF6 circuit breakers?

What is a puffer-type SF6 circuit breaker?

In 1957, the puffer-type technique was introduced for SF6 circuit breakers, wherein the relative movement of a piston and a cylinder linked to the moving part is used to generate the pressure rise necessary to blast the arc via a nozzle made of insulating material (Figure 1).

When was SF6 invented?

It is now possible to use low energy spring-loaded mechanisms to drive high-voltage circuit-breakers up to 800 kV. The first patents on the use of SF6 as an interrupting medium were filed in Germany in 1938 by Vitaly Grosse (AEG) and independently later in the United States in July 1951 by H. J. Lingal, T. E. Browne and A. P. Storm (Westinghouse).
