Diagnostic of circuit breaker insulating state and state of SF6 gas filling
This diagnostic is carried out in reference to the current stress according to Fig. A.7.1, but at least once
after 5 years. The procedures are as follows:
A/ Measurement of the leakage current at DC voltage of 25 kV with a shielded conductor
High voltage - DC 25 kV High voltage - DC 25 kV
Measuring equipment Measuring equipment Return conductor
with HV power source with HV power source
Return conductor
Earthing Earthing
Shielding Earthing point Circuit breaker case Shielding Earthing point Circuit breaker case
must be insulated must be insulated
against earth potential against earth potential
a) Test of the insulating draw rod b) Test of the quenching chamber
(lower terminal against case) (upper terminal against lower terminal)
Prescribed parameters of testing equipment:
High voltage source – min. 25 kV DC – which makes possible to perform the measurement in a shielded
mode
Accuracy: 2 %
Resolution: ≤ 20 nA
a) - If the leakage current on each of three insulating draw rods of circuit breaker is lower or equal to
0.1 µA, the circuit breaker is applicable to further secure operation.
a) - If the leakage current on the insulating draw rod of any phase is high than 0.1 µA, all insulating
rods must be dismounted and replaced and further prescribed activities are to be performed
according to sect. C.7.1.1.
b) - If the leakage current on each of three quenching chambers of circuit breaker is lower or equal to
1 µA, the circuit breaker is applicable to further secure operation.
b) - If the leakage current on any quenching chamber is high than 1 µA, this quenching chamber
must be dismounted and replaced and further prescribed activities are to be performed according
to sect. C.7.1.1.

B/ Measurement of gas filling purity – of SF6 content in volume percentage
The measurement is carried out according to manual and instructions of manufacturer used
measuring equipment.
Prescribed parameters of testing equipment:
The apparatus for measurement of SF6 volume percentage content in a mixture of gases
Measurement range: 0 ÷ 100 % of content
Inlet pressure: 0.17 ÷ 1 MPa
Measurement accuracy: ±1 % of SF6 from the mixture content of gases
- If the measured value in the gas filling of circuit breaker is equal or higher than 97 volume percentage
of SF6, the circuit breaker is applicable to further secure operation.
- If the measured value in the gas filling of circuit breaker is lower than 97 volume percentage of SF6,
the gas filling must be replaced by a new one.
C/ Measurement of SF6 gas filling moisture – of dew point in centigrade degrees
The measurement is carried out according to manual and instructions of manufacturer used measuring
equipment. The measurement is performed in relation to the atmospheric pressure of measured gas.
Prescribed parameters of testing equipment:
The apparatus for measurement of SF6 gas dew point in relation to the atmospheric pressure of
measured gas – the dew point is determined independently of pressure in the gas compartment.
Measurement range: to – 55 °C at ambient temperature of 20 °C
Measurement accuracy: ≤ ± 0.2 °C
Inlet pressure: 1 kPa ÷ 1 MPa
- If the measured dew point of gas filling is lower or equal to – 30 °C in relation to atmospheric pressure
of measured gas, the circuit breaker is applicable to further secure operation.
- If the measured dew point of gas filling is higher than – 30 °C in relation to atmospheric pressure of
measured gas, the gas filling must be replaced by a new one.

Example:
A circuit breaker type VF 12.12.16 has performed 3500 breakings at current of 1250 A and two breakings
of the rated breaking current of 20 kA at the rated voltage 7.2 kV. Now, we should determine how many
breakings at 1250 A could be performed before reaching the permissible sum current limit of contact
loading. According to the curve 4500 breakings at 1250 A and 15 breakings at 20 kA can be carried out.
It is then: N 1.25 = 4500
N 20 = 15
n 1.25 = 3500
n 20 = 2
The set up equation:
n 1.25 n 20 x
————- + ——— + ———- = 1
N 1.25 N 20 N 1.25
n 1.25 n 20
x = ( 1 - ———— - ——— ) . N 1.25
N 1.25 N 20
3500 2
x = ( 1 - ———— - ——— ) . 4500
4500 15
x = 400
According to this calculation the given circuit breaker can perform further 400 breakings at current 1250
A to the end of its revision-free service life.
