33.How to preserve SF6 switch-gear? Is it possible to test the breaker in the preserved condition and why?

The SF6 breakers will be filled with Nitrogen to prevent corrosion.

It is not possible to test the breaker in that condition.


The insulation (dielectric strength) of Nitrogen is much less than SF6. The gas will break down and create earth fault.
