Fixed contact
ARC IS ARC QUENCHED BY MEDIUM
Moving contact
IN A CIRCUIT BREAKER
During the separation of contacts, due to large fault current and high current density at the contact region the surrounding medium ionises and thus a conducting medium is formed. This is called the ARC.
Potential difference between the contacts Ionised particles between the contacts

Dielectric properties of SF6 gas:DS of sf6 is 2.5 times of air DS of sf6 is 30% less than oil DS of sf6 is equal to oil at
63700 N/m2 And 15% higher at 122500 N/m2
Advantages of SF6 gas:1. Increased safety 2. Reduced size 3. Easy installation 4. Low maintenance

REMOVAL OF SF6 BYPRODUCTS:Byproducts are corrosive & likely to affect the organic materials. Absorbent materials used in circuit breakers
So suggested mix is 50/50 of sodalime & alumina. The suggested weight of absorbent is 10% of the weight of the gas
CONCLUSION
Harnessing the utilities of SF6 gas in power system and power system equipments, makes it more reliable and safer to use. The countless advantages this SF6 gas has to offer will take us to new heights in the prevalent orthodox power system.
THANK U ALL FOR A PATIENT HEARING. HOPE I SATISFIED THE CURIOSITY OF THE AUDIENCE.
