Abstract:SF 6 gas has been widely used in high voltage power equipment (HVPE) because of its high insulating and arc-quenching performance. However, the reduction of use of SF 6 is highly required, because SF 6 is a potent greenhouse gas. Thus, the improvement of SF 6 gas insulation system is indispensable in order to further downsize HVPEs with reduced SF 6 usage. In this work, we applied a dielectric coating to 550 kV gas insulated switchgear (GIS) and succeeded in downsizing it and reducing its SF 6 gas content.The … Show more
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.
