Abstract

As an environmentally friendly alternative gas for SF6, C5F10O/CO2 gas mixtures have shown great potentials for applications in gas-insulated equipment because of its extremely low global warning potential (GWP). However, the research on the surface flashover of epoxy under C5F10O/CO2 gas mixtures is still lacking. In this paper, we studied the effect of surface treatment on the surface flashover performance of epoxy resin under C5F10O/CO2 gas mixtures. Epoxy resin/Al2O3 composites were prepared and then irradiated by ultraviolet for 6 h in air. Infrared spectrum, water contact angle, surface potential decay, surface resistivity and DC surface flashover voltages of the pristine and modified samples in SF6 and C5F10O/CO2 gas mixtures were determined. The results showed that that the flashover voltage in both SF6 and C5F10O/CO2 mixtures was improved obviously after surface treatment. It was found that the ultraviolet irradiation increased the energy level and density of both shallow and deep surface traps, which resulted in strong trapping effect and finally increased the flashover voltage. Our work provides an effective way to improve the surface flashover voltage of epoxy under C5F10O/CO2 gas mixtures by ultraviolet irradiation.
