As the breaker is tripped, a magnetic coil is beneath it and as the movable contact falls into the coil the arc is elongated in a spiral caused by the magnetic coil until the SF6 quenches the arc.

handling the circuit breaker
There isn't, the contacts in a circuit breaker are plated with silver.
Before you change a circuit breaker it has to be established that the breaker is at fault and not some other part of the circuit.
A vacuum breaker uses a vacuum to extinguish the arc when interrupting a circuit, while a SF6 gas circuit breaker uses sulfur hexafluoride gas. SF6 gas circuit breakers can handle higher voltages and currents compared to vacuum breakers. SF6 gas circuit breakers are also more environmentally harmful due to the greenhouse gas SF6, while vacuum breakers are considered more eco-friendly.
SF6 circuit breaker
A vacuum circuit breaker has the circuit interrupting contacts inside a vacuum bottle. Without air the arc created by interrupting the circuit contains only material from the contacts. As a result the arc cannot sustain itself as well as it would if in air and the contacts will be able to handle higher currents. In an SF6 breaker the arc occurs in SF6 gas. SF6 captures free electrons from the arc quickly quenching it. In the process SF6 is broken apart but will recombine back into SF6. Some "SF6" breakers use vacuum bottles. This results in the small size of SF6 Switchgear with the advantages of vacuum breakers.
Rather than where? Circuit breakers are always located in substations.
"Air" and "Vacuum" describe how the breaker extinguishes the arcing current. An Air breaker opens far enough that the dielectric strenght of air is enough to extinguish the arc. A vacuum breaker's contacts are in a vacuum. Oil breakers use oil. SF6 breakers use SF6 gas to extinguish the arc.
yes SF6 gas is used in modern ckt. breaker.
Craig, Please refer to Australian Standard AS3000:2007 for the answer.
The maximum acceptable tan delta value of a 132 KV SF6 circuit breaker is typically around 0.3. This value indicates the insulation quality of the circuit breaker and should be within the specified range to ensure safe and reliable operation. If the tan delta value exceeds this limit, it may indicate potential insulation issues that need to be addressed.
A circuit breaker is a switching device which can make,brake and carrying (or trip the circuit) that specified over currents for a small interval of time . There is a different types of Circuit Breaker's are there 1.According to their arc quenching media these are divided into 4 types a) Oil circuit breaker b) Air blast circuit breaker c) SF6 circuit breaker d) vacuum circuit breaker 2. According to their services the circuit breaker can be divided as a) Outdoor Circuit Breaker b) Indoor Breaker 3. According to the operating mechanism of circuit breaker they can be divided as a) Spring operated Circuit Breaker b) Pneumatic Circuit Breaker c) Hydrolic Circuit Breaker 4. According to the voltage level of installation these are divided into 3 types a) High Voltage Circuit Breaker b) Medium Voltage Circuit Breaker c) Low Voltage Circuit Breaker.
High voltage switch gear operates in the voltage range of 36 kV and above. Minimum oil circuit breaker, air blast circuit breaker and SF6 (Sulphur hexafluoride) circuit breaker are the three mostly used disconnects for high voltage switchgear.
There are various to check if your air circuit breaker working. You can use various tools that are available to test your air circuit breaker. A clamping ammeter is ideal for this purpose.
