Arc

Whenever high tension interruptors are operated, an arc will inevitably form between the separating blades. Air cannot be used as it is not dry and the arc will probably remain. The inert gas SF6 is non conductive (high dielectric value) and this physical property is basic to quench the arc.
It does not supress nor cut off the arc as the arc will always form when the interruptor is activated.
