Development and Application of Environment-friendly GIS Combined Clean Air and Vacuum Interruption Technology
)is widely used as main medium for arc quenching and insulation gas in AIS and GIS high voltage products.However
it is also a gas with a high global warming potential(GWP=23 900)
therefore
searching for alternative gases has been ongoing since the past several decades.In recent years
perfluoronitrile(e.g.C

tests and applications with regard to this GIS are given.Firstly
criteria for reliable and safe insulating dimensions of this new GIS are gained through dielectric breakdown tests under various conditions and typical partial discharge tests using clean air as the medium.And vacuum interrupting unit is accordingly improved in certain aspects to meet requirements for high-voltage circuit-breakers.Then the lowcurrent switching tests are carried out on real GIS disconnector and earthing switch
respectively using clear air

and the benefits and drawbacks within clean air are described as well.Moreover
the crucial technical improvements of VIU for HV circuit breaker application are introduced.Finally GIS with these gases are also compared from perspective of safety

operation and maintenance.In conclusion
combining with experiences of real applications of such switchgear
we do believe that this SF
