Abstract
This paper describes the effect that a lower SF6 fill pressure and SF6/N2 gas mixtures have on the short-line fault (SLF) interruption capability of SF6 power switchgear. Detailed measurements of current zero hereby allow us to differentiate between the effect on the thermal and that on the dielectric breaking capacity during a current interruption.
