Study on Positive Lightning Impulse Characteristics of Nitrogen and Dry Air for Eco-friendly C-GIS[J]. High voltageapparatus, 2019, 55(4): 25-30. DOI: 10.13296/j.1001-1609.hva.2019.04.004.
Study on Positive Lightning Impulse Characteristics of Nitrogen and Dry Air for Eco-friendly C-GIS
as the insulation material for eco-friendly cubic gas insulated switchgear(C-GIS) is very popular nowadays. To ensure the characteristics of compact structure and small size
engineers have to fully understand the insulation characteristics of the substitute gases. This article studies the fundamental properties of dry air and N

as the insulation medium from the respects of different electrode forms or electrodes gaps at 0.1 MPa and 0.15 MPa gas pressures. Comparison of experimental data indicates that the insulation withstand level of dry air is higher than Nitrogen for the positive lightning voltage. Simultaneously
we conclude the relation bet
ween the E
max
(maximum electric field strength) and the η(electric field utilization) as the critical criterion of the C-GIS insulation structure designing.
