Abstract:After being in the focus of sciences' and industry's research and development activities for many years, the investigation of possible SF<sub>6</sub> gas-alternatives has been even more intensified after the revision of the European F-Gas regulation 517/2014. As natural gases yield a significantly lower dielectric strength in comparison to SF<sub>6</sub>, new challenges arise for the design of high voltage switchgear. Vacuum interrupters are environmentally friendly, reliable and able t… Show more
