Dismantling and recovery of
components of circuit breaker
This type of waste includes the rest of the materials used in the composi-
tion of a gas insulated substation, other than for a few very specific cases.
These waste products mainly include:
- Parts in epoxy resin: insulating cone in the case of circuit breakers with
insertion resistance
- Plastic parts loaded with glass fibre (insulating tubes, etc.)
- Seals and gaskets, rubber bands, roller bearings
- Insulators (support or interrupting chamber) composites etc.
Where possible, we recommend that this type of waste be sent via inciner-
ation channels with waste heat recovery.
Certain elements, due to their function or the material constituting them,
cannot be sent via a recycling or incineration channel.
They include the following components:
- Insulating parts from the interrupting chamber
- Absorbent molecular sieves
- The active elements in electrical cubicles
- Ceramic insulators (support or interrupting chamber) or those still called
porcelain, etc.
These waste products will follow specific channels and/or undergo certain
types of processing.
Precise instructions will be supplied for these types of components.
