Tricky but Easy Electrical Engineering!
In Sulpher Hexafluoride or SF6 Circuit Breaker, sulpher hexafluoride (SF6) gas is used as an insulating and arc quenching medium. SF6 gas has many superior properties which makes it perfect for arc quenching.Sulpher Hexafluoride or SF6 Circuit Breaker is most popular and widely used breaker. This type of breaker is mostly used for EHV systems like … Read more
The concept of Subtransient, Transient and Steady State arises in case of fault in an Alternator. Let us assume a sudden short circuit in three phase of alternator. The fault current will flow in all the three phases of alternator and its waveform will be as shown in figure below. When the alternator is short-circuited, … Read more
SF6 gas is used in High Voltage and Extra High Voltage Circuit Breaker. For better understanding of why SF6 is chosen, we will go through the chemical and dielectric properties of SF6. Chemical Properties of SF6: 1) SF6gas is very stable gas and remains stable up to 500 °C. 2) SF6gas is inert. The … Read more
