Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the breakdown characteristics of Ar, Kr and $N_2$ gas in pure states with pressure range of 58.8-137.3[kPa] under uniform and non-uniform fields, and the measured values are compared with those in Ar/$N_2$ gas mixtures. From these results, the breakdown voltages of $N_2$ gas in uniform field were increased about 4.8 and 4.4 times than those of Ar and Kr gas, respectively. Breakdown voltages of Ar/$N_2$ gas mixtures were decreased with decreasing the mixture ratio of $N_2$ gas. Breakdown voltages of Ar(70%)/$N_2$(30%) gas mixtures in the pressure of 101.3[kPa] (gap length : 3[mm]) were increased 1.9 times than those of pure Ar gas.
