Forecast on Gas Circuit Breakers Market for the Period 2017 - 2027

Posted by Chhidami on October 26th, 2017

Gas circuit breakers are current carrying circuit breaker that operates with sulphur hexafluoride or SF6 gas. The gas circuit breakers contain an arc interruption chamber which is comprised of sulphur hexafluoride gas. The gas circuit breakers are the only current style of circuit breaker that is manufactured for high voltage application EHV. The sulphur hexafluoride gas present in the gas circuit breakers has properties to absorb the free electrons in the arc path to form immobile negative ions that build up superior dielectric strength. The gas circuit breakers are main types of breakers installed in distribution transmission network. The mechanical powers in a gas circuit breakers are transferred from spring or piston to the moving contact via a link system. The arching contact in a gas circuit breakers is made of tungsten (wolfram). The gas circuit breaker's arc extinction method characteristics are either puffer or self-blast circuit breaker.

Global Gas Circuit Breakers Market: Dynamics

Gas circuit breakers outperform in the power supply industry owing to development and advancement in technology which saves the overall power distribution supply during a short circuit. The presence of sulphur hexafluoride makes excellent arc extinguish properties and shows great stability in high temperature which adds a potential factor to the growth of gas circuit breakers market. The gas circuit breakers use a piston pump for puffer circuit breaker where else in the case of self-blast, it takes advantage of sulphur hexafluoride gas pressure that is created by the heat from the arc extinction are some excellent method in gas circuit breakers that boost the overall market growth. Primary features of gas circuit breakers such as SF6 gas that is used as an arc quenching medium in gas circuit breakers cools the arc and extinguish it during breakage supports the growth of gas circuit breakers market. Gas circuit breakers show superior result in medium voltage distribution owing to some disadvantage in oil and air blast circuit breaker such as flammability, and high maintenance cost, are some of the factors driving the growth of global gas circuit breaker market. Factor such as low noise level, short break time, high electric endurance, reliability, and possible compact solution when used for gas insulated switch gear are altogether supporting the growth of gas circuit breaker market.

The gas circuit breakers continuously require monitoring due to imperfect joints that can lead to leakage of sulphur hexafluoride gas. The sulphur hexafluoride is heavier than air thus while filling up gas in the tank can lead to an explosion if the gas comes in contact with oxygen are some challenging factor to gas circuit breaker market. Major threat to gas circuit breaker market are environmental hazard associated due to the presence of sulphur hexafluoride that creates greenhouse gasses
