Abstract

This report presents an assessment of the dependability of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) circuit breakers in substations for the transmission, with the considered potential areas of deterioration identified in the device. The aging process has a tangible impact on the equipment, potentially diminishing its strength and increasing the likelihood of malfunction. The reliability of the equipment cannot be determined solely by its age, as its actual condition is influenced by wear and the maintenance it has received. This document identifies the areas of deterioration, emphasizing the need for preservation measures, and establishes their defined limits for SF6 gas circuit breakers. The important assistance of this approach is to facilitate an evaluation of the current state of a circuit breaker by examining the quantifying of its numerous areas of deterioration, enabling the recognition of condemning equipment that should be prime concern in maintenance preparation. A circuit breaker failure could result in the failure of the power system, leading to significant disruption and substantial pecuniary losses. Conservation based on the reliability of circuit breakers helps minimize failures, reduce unavailability, and enhance the strength of power systems.

Keywords: Circuit Breakers, Sulfur Hexafluoride, Short Circuit, Protection, power systems.
