Abstract

The realization of a new measurement method to determine electric conductivity of hot SF6-gas during interruption fault currents in an original self-blast circuit breaker is presented. The method is based on evaluation of phase shift between sinusoidal kHz-high voltage and current, applied on a sensor. This needs a kHz-resonance voltage generator and adapted sensors as a part of an electromagnetic shielded measurement system to determine time dependent electric conductivity with high resolution.
