WHAT IS A CIRCUIT BREAKER?
A circuit breaker is an equipment which can
make or break a circuit either manually or automatically under normal conditions
break a circuit under abnormal conditions

OVERVIEW OF ARCS IN BREAKERS-:
During the separation of contacts, due to large fault current and high current density at the contact region the surrounding medium ionises and thus a conducting medium is formed. This is called the ARC.

PRINCIPLES OF ARC EXTINCTION
Factors responsible for arc:-
Potential difference between the contacts
Ionised particles between the contacts
By removing any one of these the arc
can be quenched.

REMOVAL OF SF6 BYPRODUCTS:-Byproducts are corrosive & likely to affect the
organic materials.Absorbent materials used in circuit breakers activated alumina( effective for SOF2,H2S,SF2) molecular sieves( sodalime-CaO.NaOH)-
removes stable gases such as SF4,SiF4 & S2F2
So suggested mix is 50/50 of sodalime &
alumina. The suggested weight of absorbent is 10% of the weight of the gas

ADVANTAGES OF SF6 CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Very short arcing period Can interrupt much
larger currents as compared to other breakers
No risk of fire Low maintenance, light
foundation, minimum auxiliary equipments
No over voltage problem

CONCLUSION
Harnessing the utilities of SF6 gas in power system and power system equipments, makes it more reliable and safer to use.
The countless advantages this SF6 gas has to offer will take us to new heights in the prevalent orthodox power system.
