Abstract

Because of the strong greenhouse effect of SF6 gas, its usage is now increasingly limited. To decrease the usage of SF6, the application of SF6/N2 mixture gas is an alternative way. Surface insulation is the weakest point for GIS, the charge accumulation on insulator surface can greatly distort the local electrical field and trigger the surface discharge when suffered from overvoltage. In SF6/N2 mixture gas, under certain conditions, the surface streamer will transit into leader. The streamer propagation based on numerical simulation can not reveal the whole process of discharge propagation. The mechanism of surface discharge in SF6/N2 mixture gas can be concluded after examining both experimental measurement and numerical simulation.
