2.2 Construction and function
The circuit breaker type HPA operator on the puffer principle.
2.2.1 Breaker poles
The breaker pole contains Sf gas (sulphur hexafluoride). This gas in many
6
respects is one of the best media for circuit breaker in use for several decades
and its excellent performance is demonstrated by experience.
