The paper deals with the dimensioning of SF6 circuit‐breakers based on a computer program and short‐circuit breaking tests. The procedure leads to an optimization of the design of the circuit‐breaker taking into account the parameters gas pressure, contact motion, dimensions of the active parts and short‐circuit breaking current. Thus, the most advantageous breaker design no longer has to be determined only by empirical testing.
