Abstract:SF6 is widely used in electrical insulation equipment due to its excellent electrical properties, but its greenhouse effect is extremely detrimental to the atmospheric environment. In recent years, C5F10O, as an environmentally friendly SF6 potential substitute gas, has attracted the attention of researchers around the world. In order to further explore the insulation properties of C5F10O/Air and C5F10O/N2, a gas insulation performance test platform are used to conduct power-frequency breakdown tests under two quasi-uniform electric fields for two gas mixtures under different pressures and different C5F10O partial pressures. The experimental results show that the insulation strength of C5F10O mixed gas increases with the increase of gas pressure. Increasing the partial pressure of C5F10O can also increase the insulation strength of the two types of buffer gases, and the relative increase in insulation strength of N2 is greater than that of dry air. From the viewpoint of dielectric strength, C5F10O /Air has more potential to replace SF6 in indoor low-voltage equipment than C5F10O /N2 mixed gas by appropriately increasing the C5F10O mixed gas pressure and C5F10O partial pressure.
