Abstract:SF6/N2 gas mixture is considered as one of the most promising gases to replace SF6 because of its good insulation performance and environmental benefits. However,there is a lack of research on the mixing ratio of SF6/N2 gas mixture in different conditions. Under the premise of ensuring the insulation level of gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL),a multi-physical field coupling calculation model is established. From the perspective of heat characteristics of gas mixture,the relationship between SF6/N2 mixing ratio and GIL temperature rise under different insulating gas pressure,load current and ambient temperature is analyzed to determine the appropriate SF6/N2 mixture ratio under different conditions. The results show that there is a negative correlation between the insulation gas pressure (or the SF6 content) and GIL temperature rise at the same pressure. The SF6 content is suggested to be in the range of 40%~60% when the load current exceeds 3 kA for a long period of time,40%~70% when the equipment is running in the middle and low latitudes,and 30%~40% when the equipment is in the high latitudes. In addition,considering the safety margin,the insulation and temperature rise requirements of GIL can be met when SF6 content is not less than 70% of the recommended value.
