Abstract

Recent developments in gaseous dielectrics are discussed with emphasis on dielectric gas mixtures containing SF//6. Recent findings on the isotopic, pressure, and nonuniform field dependence of the dielectric strength of gases are also presented, and ways to enhance the corona-stabilization characteristics of gas mixtures by appropriate additives (e. g. , to SF//6) are outlined. In addition, results are presented on the spark decomposition products of SF//6 and the alleviation of the harmful effects of conducting particles by particle coating in situ. Electron attachment, electrode drift velocity, and breakdown properties of gas mixtures (e. g. , C//2F//6 or C//3F//8 in Ar or CH//4) which have promise for use in pulsed power technologies are reported.
