Answer / shanmugam.s
It is a better Arc quenching medium, So when the voltage
level raises we go for SF6 breakers instead of Vacuum
Circuit breakers.

Answer / raul
sf6 CB has far superior arc quenching properties as
compared to other CBs due to tremendous amount of capacity
of SF6 gas to absorb free electrones in the contact
space.........so the dielectric strength is very
high...........and also there is a cost consideration
factor which makes the use of VCB a less viable
proposition.............
