Research on alternative dielectric gases to eliminate the disadvantages of SF 6 , which is widely used in GIS and switching systems in the power system engineering, has been an important study topic in the literature for nearly 40 years. Because of environmental priorities defined by international agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol and Doha Amendment, the restrictions on the use of SF 6 make these studies an obligation. Although the number of alternative dielectric gases studied for this purpose is quite high, these gases can be classified under the titles of non-synthetics, hydrocarbons (HCs), fluorocarbons (FCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), fluoronitriles (FNs), fluoroketones (FKs) and other synthetic gases. In this study, the gases classified under these titles are compared using the dielectric constant relative to SF 6 , Global Warming Potential (GWP), atmospheric lifetime, boiling point and toxicity parameters used in the comparison of dielectric gases. When compared with these parameters, non-synthetic air, CO 2 , and N 2 , C 3 F 7 CN from FNs, and C 5 F 10 O and C 6 F 12 O from FKs stand out among alternative gases to SF 6. These alternatives are used in some innovative power system industry applications and have a widespread use potential in the insulating gas industry instead of SF 6 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
