| Abstract |
This paper deals with the dielectric characteristics of SF? gas gap stressed by ±1.2/44[㎲] non-oscillating impulse and ±0.4[㎲]/1.14[㎒] oscillating impulse voltages in the presence of a needle-shape metallic particle in gas-insulated switchgear(GIS). Breakdown voltage-time (V-t) and breakdown voltage-gas pressure (V-p) characteristics were investigated and discussed. The experiments were carried out under highly inhomogeneous field geometry with a needle protrusion whose length and radius are 10[㎜] and 0.5[㎜], respectively. The gas pressure ranges from 0.1 to 0.5[㎫]. As a result, it was found that the electrical breakdown for both the positive and negative polarity develops with steplike pulses in leader mechanism. When subjected to the positive oscillating impulse voltage, the minimum breakdown voltages appeared in all the gas pressure ranges and the V-t curves have a pronounced upturning at short times to breakdown and give a little dependence of the gas pressure. On the other hand, in the case of the negative polarity the dependence of the V-t and V-p characteristics on the wave shape of the applied voltages is known to be appreciable. |
