5.5 Vacuum Check

A sufficient level of vacuum is necessary for proper performance of the vacuum interrupters. Although

vacuum leaks are rare, the vacuum integrity should be checked periodically. The relationship between

dielectric breakdown voltage of the contact gap and internal vacuum interrupter pressure has been found

to be generally predictable. Therefore, vacuum interrupter integrity is checked by performing a high

potential test across the open gap of the interrupter.
