Abstract
In this paper, ablation polymer was studied to improve the thermal interrupting performance of an SF6 gas circuit breaker. One kind of polymer was used as the ablation polymer on the basis of the specific constraint conditions for SF6 gas circuit breakers, such as not including hydrogen, and its ablation characteristics were investigated. Furthermore, the dominant factor of that polymer ablation was discussed by comparing ablated mass characteristics between the ablation polymer and polytetrafluoroethylene, which is widely used as the nozzle material of an SF6 gas circuit breaker. © 2020 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
