Reliability for SF6 gas load break switch of distribution system

$SF_6$ gas has been increasingly used as the insulating and arc-suppressing medium in switchgears which are used as the protection devices of power system. Nowadays, most of power companies adopted the $SF_6$ gas-type load break switch for increasing the reliability of distribution network by its superior durability against external environmental condition, in substitution for air-type and oil-type switches. But, it is important to establish the general estimation process for the testing and estimation for long-term reliability. Accordingly, this paper presents the reliability testing method for $SF_6$ gas load break switch which is based on the analysis of the failure mode and the statistics.
