Abstract :
The effect of the following parameters on the breakdown field strength of coated cylinders in air, nitrogen, SF6, a mixture of 50% SF6/50% air, and a 50% SF6/50% nitrogen mixture were studied: (1) voltage waveform and polarity and (2) insulating material and thickness. The results are presented graphically and in a table
