New techniques for medium voltage SF6 switches
Abstract
The standard SF6 self-compressing switch used with electric arcs is described. A rotating arc switch is presented. Air-tightness of SF6 envelopes is discussed, and systems requiring periodic topping up, and sealed systems requiring no maintenance are described.
