Abstract
Impulse partial discharge (PD) and breakdown (BD) characteristics of rod-plane gaps in N2/SF6 gas mixtures were investigated for different gap geometry, gas pressure and SF6 gas content. Experimental results revealed that the 50% probability breakdown voltage increased with the gas pressure, which agreed with the theoretical values with consideration of discharge time-lag for impulse voltage application. Furthermore, the impulse PD light emission image was observed together with PD current pulse and light intensity waveforms. The long discharge with stepwise propagation and the double-peak PD pulses could be successfully observed, which corresponded to the streamer/leader transition leading to breakdown
