The properties
Inert, non-toxic
Electro-negative (electron-capturing)
Six times heavier than air
Global Warming
SF

as Quenching Medium
Ionization temperature of SF
6
is lower than
air
In SF
6
the radial temperature gradient in the
arc is very steep
Excellent arc quenching property
Low arc diameter
Low arc temperature
Only very small gas blast needed
Radial temperature profile in electric
arcs
SF
6
as Insulating Medium

Pressurized at 300 kPa (3 bar) SF
6

insulates better than oil
Pressurized at 400 kPa (4 bar) SF
6

insulates 6 times better than air at
normal pressure
In SF

ELK-14 CB Operating Mechanism - HMB4
ELK-14 CB Operating Mechanism - HMB4
Advantages of HMB-4

Long service life and high reliability
Less maintenance and minimum wear
Easy checking and inspection
Low noise level
No external piping, reduced chances of oil leak
Extremely compact design
Flexibility of use
In comparison with spiral springs:
Disk springs have much higher mechanical
strength
Higher energy storage density
No ageing of mechanical characteristics during
service
Flat F-S characteristic, more suitable for
switching operations of CB

CB: Short circuit current(50KA) 10 times
or normal operation more than 5000 times
Inner fault flashover abnormal voice
Gas leakage that can not be solved
unless disassembly;
Other reasons
Finding and dealing with usual problems
1. Low SF6 pressure


Low SF6 pressure alarm/density monitor
Report to ABB and fill SF6;
Seek for leakage position
Solved by ABB
2. Loss of hydraulic oil inside CB drive
Oil level indicator (glass window).
Report to ABB
Seek for leakage position
Solved by ABB (if serious, maybe need power off)
3. Others
ABB will provide professional support when you need
and Please contact with ABB as soon as possible
