SF6 Sulfur Hexafluoride: Efficient Arc Quencher
As an efficient arc quencher, SF6 sulfur hexafluoride keeps sensitive electrical equipment safe. When an electrical arc takes place in apparatuses, SF6 gas can explosively cool and extinguish the arc, safeguarding surrounding equipment from further damage. This characteristic is pivotal in high voltage electrical switches and circuit breakers where prompt quenching is crucial for protection of equipment and safety of the electrical network.
