Sulfur hexafluoride gas has excellent insulation and arc extinguishing properties, and is widely used in electronic and electrical equipment. Its typical application is used as gas insulation in high-voltage switch cabinets of power transmission and substations, power plants, etc. in the power supply department.With the rapid development of sulfur hexafluoride electrical equipment, more and more people are exposed to sulfur hexafluoride gas and the decomposition products of sulfur hexafluoride after the action of electric arc.

Regarding the electrical properties of sulfur hexafluoride gas, we will discuss its electrical insulation properties at room temperature and arc extinguishing properties at high temperatures respectively.
In a uniform electric field and under the action of power frequency voltage, compared with sulfur hexafluoride gas, oil and nitrogen, the dielectric strength of sulfur hexafluoride gas is about five times that of nitrogen, and when the pressure is greater than 8 atmospheres, its dielectric strength The strength can exceed that of transformer oil.
Next, we discuss the factors affecting the breakdown voltage of sulfur hexafluoride gas:
The breakdown voltage of sulfur hexafluoride gas is not only related to pressure, but also related to the smoothness and cleanliness of the electrode surface; the cleaner and smoother the electrode surface, the more The higher the breakdown voltage.
Under the same pressure, the breakdown voltage of sulfur hexafluoride gas increases with the increase of the contact distance, but it is not a linear relationship, but has a meaning of saturation, and the greater the pressure, the more serious the saturation; Therefore, in practice, we cannot strengthen the insulation by increasing the contact distance alone.
In addition, the breakdown voltage of sulfur hexafluoride gas is also related to the geometry of the electrode and the contact area; if the electrode shape makes the electric field more uniform, the breakdown voltage will be higher, which should be noted here, unlike the vacuum switch, The electrode material has no obvious effect on the breakdown voltage of sulfur hexafluoride gas.
The reason why sulfur hexafluoride gas has better insulating properties is because sulfur hexafluoride gas is negatively charged, which means that sulfur hexafluoride molecules can absorb free electrons in the gas and become negative ions. The quality of this negative ion It is much larger than the mass of free electrons, so the movement speed is greatly reduced. In addition, the number of free electrons in the gap is reduced, and it is difficult to form a breakdown channel.So its insulation performance is better.In addition, this electronegative property is also very advantageous at high temperatures, that is, during arc extinguishing.
The arc extinguishing performance of sulfur hexafluoride gas is also very good, which is due to the following reasons:
Sulfur hexafluoride gas will decompose and dissociate under the action of the arc. The polyatomic structure molecules are decomposed into single atoms or charged particles. The gas starts to decompose into low fluoride at about 2000 °C, starts to dissociate at about 4000 °C, and starts to dissociate at 6000 °C. When the temperature is higher than 10000 ℃, the sulfur hexafluoride gas is completely freed; this internal change will affect the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of the gas, which greatly enhances its thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity.
The thermal conductivity of the gas is enhanced, and the heat dissipation of the arc is accelerated, which is conducive to the rapid cooling of the insulating medium in the gap after the arc is extinguished, which is conducive to the compounding of low-fluoride compounds into sulfur hexafluoride, and at the same time, it is beneficial to restore the insulation, which greatly reduces the arc. Re-ignition is conducive to quenching.
It may be a little difficult to understand the reasons why the enhanced electrical conductivity of gas is beneficial to arc quenching.The reason is this: the enhanced electrical conductivity is indeed beneficial to arcing. From the volt-ampere characteristic curves of several gas arcs, it can be found that the volt-ampere characteristic curve of sulfur hexafluoride gas, that is to say, under the same current condition, The arc voltage of sulfur hexafluoride gas, and the arc energy is Uh*I, also, the arc can be maintained even when the current is very small, and will not break, so that the phenomenon of interception will not occur, which is also sulfur hexafluoride Where the gas is superior; we know that the current sulfur hexafluoride circuit breakers are all extinguished when the arc current crosses zero, the arc energy is small when the arc is ignited, and the temperature of the arc and the decomposed gas are relatively small. It is very beneficial to the recovery of the dielectric strength of the gap after the current crosses zero, making it difficult to re-ignition or re-ignition after the arc is extinguished, so the sulfur hexafluoride gas is not only conducive to arc ignition, but also conducive to extinguishing.
In addition, sulfur hexafluoride The electronegative nature of the gas (the characteristic of adsorbing free electrons) and the secondary recombination characteristic (the low-valent fluoride decomposed in the arc is rapidly reduced to sulfur hexafluoride molecules after the arc is extinguished), these characteristics also make the sulfur hexafluoride gas no matter Whether the initial medium strength, medium recovery speed or final medium strength is relatively high.
