This paper presents the experimental results of the dielectric characteristics with temperature changes under highly non-uniform electric field in $SF_6$ gas. The impulse preliminary breakdown developments were investigated by the measurement of predischarge current and breakdown voltage. As a result, the first stremer corona is initiated at the tip of needle electrode, and bridges the test gap. Also the first stremer corona onset and breakdown voltages the negative polarity was much higher than that in the positive polarity in same temperature. In addition, the varition of temperature have a little effect on the positive polarity. On the other hand, in some cases negative polarity corona onset and breakdown voltages increased with increasing a high temperature.

본 논문은 고정된 바늘모양의 공기물에 의하여 형성된 불평등전계중에서 뇌임펄스전압에 대한 SF$_{6}$가스의 절연특성과 전구방전진전에 관한 것이다. 하전입자의 이동에 의하여 외부회로에 흐르는 전도전류의 측정방법에 대하여 기술하고 0.05~0.3[MPa]의 압력범위에서 섬락전압-압력특성을 측정하였으며 분류기와 광전자증배관을 사용하여 전구방전의 순시적 진전과정을 관측하였다. 전구방전은 돌기물의 선단에서 발생한 초기스트리머에 의하여 발단되며 정극성의 경우 섬락전압은 국부고전계에 매우 민감하며 리이더메카니즘으로 진전됨이 확인되었다. 전구방전현상의 극성의존성은 공간전하의 영향이 지배적이었다. 더불어 본 연구에서 제안된 전구전류의 측정기법은 불평등전계중에서의 전자사태전류, 코로나방전과 공극내에서의 부분방전의 측정에 매우 유용하게 적용될 것이다.

In studies on an alternative insulating gas of $SF_6$ gas, the section of the alternative gas and an insulation technique to improve its low dielectric strength have been reported, but very few attempts have been made at the dependence of a gas pressure and a gap as well as the medium effect in the alternative gas. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dependence of the gas pressure and the gap at surface flashover voltage in dry air. The dependence is analyzed based on the medium effect. The medium effect by the gas pressure and the gap can be explained by surface roughness of a solid dielectric and an electrode as well as an electric field which decreases due to the correlation between the collision ionization coefficient and the gap, respectively. In addition, an insulation technique which can fabricate a compact eco-friendly gas insulated switchgear is proposed by the results of this paper.

A primary interest of this work is to develop an efficient and powerful repetitive pulser system for the application of ultra wide band generation. The important component of the pulser system is a small-sized coaxial type spark gap with planar electrodes filled with SF6 gas. A repetitive switching action by the coaxial spark gap generates two consecutive pulses in less than a microsecond with rise times of a few hundred picoseconds (ps). A set of several parameters for the repetitive switching of the spark gap is required to be optimized in charging and discharging systems of the pulser. The parameters in the charging system include a circuit scheme, circuit elements, the applied voltage and current ratings from power supplies. The parameters in the discharging system include the spark gap geometry, electrode gap distance, gas type, gas pressure and the load. The characteristics of the spark gap discharge, such as breakdown voltage, output current pulse and recovery rate are too dynamic to control by switching continuously at a high pulse repetition rate (PRR). This leads to a low charging efficiency of the spark gap system. The breakthrough of the low charging efficiency is achieved by a parallel operation of two spark gaps system. The operational behavior of the two spark gaps system is presented in this paper. The work has focused on improvement of the charging efficiency by scaling the PRR of each spark gap in the two spark gaps system.

This paper deals with the dielectric characteristics of $SF_6$ gas gap stressed by $\pm$1.2/44[$mutextrm{s}$] non-oscillating impulse and $\pm$0.4[$mutextrm{s}$]/1.14[MHz] 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[mm] and 0.5[mm], 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.

본 연구는 $SF_6$와 Dry-air(건조공기), $N_2$, $CO_2$ 가스가 혼합된 절연매체의 절연 특성과 부분방전 특성 연구를 기초실험용 쳄버와 70kV급 GIS mock up을 이용하여 교류전압을 인가하여 실험이 수행되었다. 전자의 경우, Sphere gap 및 Needle/Plate 전극시스템을 이용하여 순수 $SF_6$가스와 Dry-air, $N_2$, $CO_2$ 가스들의 절연내력을 비교하고, 챔버의 압력을 5기압으로 유지한 상태에서 Dry-air, $N_2$, $CO_2$와 $SF_6$가스의 혼합비를 변화시키면서 절연내력이 측정되었다. 후자의 경우, 기초실험에서 도출된 $SF_6$가스와 Dry-air, $N_2$, $CO_2$의 최적의 혼합비율을 선택한 후, 방전 개시전압과 부분방전 양상을 순수 $SF_6$가스의 결과와 비교분석하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 GIS 사고의 주요원인이 되는 결함들, 즉 Protrusion, Floating, Free moving particle 들을 인위적으로 모의하여 Mock up 내부에 설치하고 내부 압력을 5기압으로 유지한 상태에서 수행되었다. 전자의 경우, $0.5{\sim}5$ 기압 범위 내에서 Dry-air, $N_2$, $CO_2$ 압력을 변화시켰을 때 절연내력은 전극시스템에 무관하게 순수 $SF_6$가스의 결과치의 Dir-air $47{\sim}51%$, $N_2\;48{\sim}61%$, $CO_2\;47{\sim}60%$ 정도이다. 또한 챔버 압력이 5기압인 상태에서 Dry-air, $N_2$, $CO_2$가 80% 혼합된 절연매체는 순수 $SF_6$가스 절연내력의 80%이상의 절연내력을 가지고 있다. 후자의 경우, 인가전압을 고정 시켰을 때, 부분방전 패턴과 방전크기는, 순수 $SF_6$가스와 Dry-air 가 80% 혼합된 절연매체는 동일한 패턴과 방전크기를 나타내고 있다. 이러한 결과를 근거로, 가스 압력이 5기압에서 운전되는 전력기기의 절연매체로서 혼합가스를 사용할 경우, $SF_6$가스와 Dry-air, $CO_2$, $N_2$ 가스들의 혼합비는 2:8정도가 적절한 것으로 제안한다.

This paper presents the experimental results on the preliminary breakdown characteristics under a highly non-uniform electric field in $SF_6/CO_2$ gas mixtures. The impulse preliminary breakdown developments are investigated by the measurements of corona current and light emission images. As a result, the preliminary breakdown development mechanisms for both positive and negative polarities are same. The first streamer corona is initiated at the tip of needle electrode, and the leaders develop with a stepwise propagation and bridge the test gap. The pause time of leader pulses in the positive polarity is significantly shorter than that in the negative polarity. Also, the time interval between the first streamer corona onset and breakdown in the negative polarity was much longer than that in the positive polarity The discharge channel paths in the positive polarity were zigzag. On the other hands, the leader channel in the negative polarity was thicker than that in the positive polarity.

This paper presents the surface flashover characteristics to simulate the poor contact between an anode and a solid dielectric in a $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas (8/2) under a non-uniform field. The surface flashover voltage of the $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas revealed the irregular tendency that was not in accordance with the Paschen's law with an increasing gap of the poor contact. In addition, the insulation performance of the $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas at 0.6MPa was comparable to that of $SF_6$ gas of 0.1MPa based on the insulation performance on the poor contact. These results are able to apply the insulation design of eco-friendly gas insulation switchgear considering the internal faults.
