DC Flashover Characteristics on PTFE Surface in SF6/CF4 Mixture
This paper is aimed at the study of the DC flashover characteristics of PTFE sample immersed in SF

varying from 0% to 100% and the gas pressure from 0.1 MPa to0.4 MPa. The influence of gas pressure
partial pressure ratio and voltage polarity on the flashover characteristics ofsample are studied. Experiment results show that between 0.1 MPa and 0.4 MPa the flashover voltage of the samplein SF

gas mixtures increase with pressure at constant partial pressure ratio of SF

. When the pressure is 0.3 MPaand the partial pressure ratio of SF

is 20%
the negative DC flashover voltage in the mixture is 52.34 kV
which is61.4% of that in pure SF

at the same pressure. The flashover voltage under negative DC voltage is lower than that un-der positive voltage. However
when the pressure exceeds a critical value
the flashover voltage presents polarity-re-versal with the pressure growing. The negative DC flashover voltage of 40%SF
