The effect of a barrier between a needle electrode and a plane one in an (N2/SF6) gas mixture on creeping flashover was investigated using a microsecond pulse voltage. The SF6 gas content was varied from 0% to 100%, and the gas pressure from 0.1 MPa to 0.3 MPa. The flashover voltage increased with increasing SF6 gas content for a positive needle electrode. For a negative needle electrode, excepting the total pressure of 0.1 MPa, at which similar flashover characteristics were obtained to the positive case, a considerable decrease in flashover voltage was found in the case of a mixture of a few percent SF6 in (N2/SF6) gas mixture at elevated total pressures. The corona behavior on the barrier in (N2/SF6) gas mixture was investigated by means of a high‐speed digital framing camera. © 2000 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 131(1): 1–9, 2000

SUMMARYThis paper describes local corona behavior and creeping discharge on composite electrode systems in N 2 . The composite electrode consisted of a needle contacted with a borosilicate glass or a ZnO disk on a needle-plane configuration. The discharge voltages increased when the needle was in contact with the glass with increasing creeping distance (L) from the needle tip to the bottom of the disk. The discharge voltages showed a reversed polarity effect beginning at L = 4 mm. In the case of a needle in contact with ZnO, the discharge voltage increased with distance until L = 2 mm, but decreased beyond L = 2 mm. Observation using an ultrahigh-speed camera showed that the discharge behavior was different for the glass and for the ZnO. Corona photographs taken by a camera with an image intensifier showed that the corona was generated at the triple junction in the case of ZnO. The differences in discharge voltage characteristics and the discharge behavior between the glass and ZnO were associated with the corona properties.
