Answer / md ahmeduddin farooqi
the maintenance cost, I believe that SF6 Breaker is still
cheaper than the Vacuum Circuit Breaker because Vacuum
Circuit Breaker does have any limited operation life. For
Vacuum Circuit Breaker, there is limited operation life. You
need to change all the Vacuum breaker poles if the operation
life is up.
I don't know what is your intake voltage in this case, for
us, we use SF6 Circuit breakers for all the 11KV, 33kv.
Current interruption in a high-voltage circuit-breaker is
obtained by separating two contacts in a medium, such as
SF6, having excellent dielectric and arc quenching
properties. After contact separation, current is carried
through an arc and is interrupted when this arc is cooled by
a gas blast of sufficient intensity.
Gas blast applied on the arc must be able to cool it rapidly
so that gas temperature between the contacts is reduced from
20,000 K to less than 2000 K in a few hundred microseconds,
so that it is able to withstand the transient recovery
voltage that is applied across the contacts after current
interruption. Sulphur hexafluoride is generally used in
present high-voltage circuit-breakers (of rated voltage
higher than 52 kV).

SF6 Used in HT Side is Only the Main Reason is TO Avoide
the Heavy Sparks In the High Voltage Side.

Answer / ashoke
Because the air circuit beakers are unable to quench the arc
immediately due to High voltage and current.So a more
efficient arc quenching medium is require like
oil,vacuum,SF6 in side.The HT contains higher voltage level
and the fault current is also higher so a brief description
is needed for choosing the appropriate CB.

what is the advantages of having in-built acvvvf (without seperate inverter in the control panel)in the drive system of elevators?
How to prepare electrical preventive maintenance plan & shedule of machine tools.
when an induction motor runs on load.at that time if we reduce the supply voltage the current increases.But when it runs without load,if we reduce the supply voltage the current also reduced.why?.i checked it practically also.
only three phases are coming in step down tranformers.how to get neutral?
Can we use Motor protection CB while we use the VFD for Speed control?? if not means please tell the reason!!!
why we not used 11kva as a direct our electrnics component.

i need to calculate high voltage line power factor daily basics but there is meter reading kwh and kvah while calculating power factor kwh/kvah formula was right. for examble there is point c=13kwh c=1.8 lag c=1.2 lead and c=14.5kvah like that i know that p.f =kwh/kvah but c=1.8lag kvarh and c=1.2lead kvarh points i dont know if u know please reply
