Introduction
The circuit- breaker uses pressurized SF
6
gas as electric arc quenching gas.
The SF
6
gas pressure monitoring is essential to assure the circuit- breaker
performances.
Principl e
There is two SF
6
gas pressure monitoring types :
D Permanent monitoring with the help of a threshold densimeter.
D Periodic monitoring with the help of a dial densimeter (visual control)
