Preparing the densimeter
Introduction
The densimeter is at the base of the circuit--breaker pole. It is linked to the
circuit--breaker’ s volume of SF
6
gas (or SF

+CF
4
).
To check the contact densimeter’s thresholds, it is mandatory to isolate the
densimeter’s volume from the pole’s volume of SF
6
gas (or SF
6
+CF
4
).
