Comparison of Vacuum Circuit Breakers with Other Circuit Breakers
Before discussing the actual comparison, let’s look at the different mediums used in circuit breakers. These are air, oil, and SF6 gas. Nowadays, some other gaseous media like compressed air, C4-FN mixtures (C4-FN/CO2 or C4-FN/N2), C5-FK mixtures (C4-FK/air or C4-FK/CO2) and pure N2 or N2/CO2 mixtures are also being developed as insulating mediums. Although, some … Read more
