SF6 Load Break Switch

How does SF6 gas load break switch work?

SF6 gas load break switch is a type of electrical switchgear that uses sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas to insulate. When the SF6 switch is opened or closed, an electric arc forms between the separating contacts. Under high pressure, the SF6 gas will rapidly expands into the arc, cooling it and disrupting the ionization process, extinguishing the arc. With this efficient arcquenching and excellent dielectric strength, SF6 gas load break switch is a reliable and effective solution for switching electrical circuits in medium & high-voltage power systems.

Is SF6 gas-insulated load break switch safe?

SF6 gas insulated load break switch uses SF6 gas as insulation medium, which provides excellent insulation, preventing electrical arcing and potential accidents. The SF6 gas is highly effective during switching operations, reducing fire risks. Our SF6 gas switch features compact design, easy installation and operation. Only if you use the SF6 switch according to the manuual and under proper working environment, it would be safe to work for a long time.
