The positive bubble effect in liquid $SF_6$

액체 $SF_6$의 정기포현상(正氣泡現像)

In this paper the experiments of insulation characteristics by temperature change of $SF_6$ gas and liquid $SF_6$ in model GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) were described. From this results, the breakdown voltage was increased with a drop of temperature and an increase of the inner pressure in model GIS. The ability of insulation in liquid $SF_6$ was higher than that of the highly pressurized $SF_6$ gas. A liquid $SF_6$ discharge characteristics was caused by bubble formed evaporation of liquid $SF_6$ and bubble caused by high electric emission. It is considered that these result are fundamental data for electric insulation design of superconductor and cryogenic application machinery which will be studied and developed in the future.
