About this document
Vacuum vs. SF6 Technologies at 5-38 kV by Heather Carter is a document available to read on EtoBox.
- Vacuum and SF6 technologies are both used extensively for circuit breakers and motor controls between 5-38kV. - Vacuum technology favors short-term economics and longer life for highly repetitive operations at load break current levels. SF6 technology increases system reliability due to inherent characteristics like capturing electrons and rapid dielectric recovery. - Both technologies can meet applicable industry standards but vacuum devices tend to be smaller while SF6 devices are easier to contain
