Simulation and Experimental Study on Arc Extinction Performance of New Eco-friendly Gas in 35 kV Circuit Breaker
is a common arc extinguishing gas in high voltage electrical equipment due to its perfect arc extin-guishing performance and insulation strength.However
SF

is a kind of gas with strong greenhouse effect and willbe phased out gradually in the future.Therefore
the study on C

and analysis of its arc interruption performance has become the hot topic in recent years.Cur-rent interruption is a kind of complicated multiple physical coupling process.And the the study of the law of gas arcis of great significance for improving the current interruption capacity of circuit breaker.In this paper
the arcingprocess of such different gas medium as SF
