A.C Breakdown Characteristics in {SF}_{6} in the Presence of A Small Discharge |
| Abstract |
The effect of a small discharge on the A.C (60Hz) breakdown characteristics in SF6 gas has been studied. Various experiments were investigated while varying distance of the rod-plane electrode, the gas pressure, and the magnitude of the small discharge current. Also, the position of the discharge path was observed for the purpose of evident investigation. As the results of this study, authors clarified the shifting mechanism of the position of discharge path with the ratio Rn (E/N distribution at a certain higher tempera-ture due to the small discharge current to E/N distribution at room temperature, E:electric field strength, N:particle number density). Also, the reason for the reduction of the A.C. breakdown voltage was investigated in the presence of a small discharge current. |
