This paper presents an experimental study on the prebreakdown characteristics in $SF_6/N_2$ mixtures under non-uniform electric fields when subjected to the positive and negative lightning impulse voltages. $SF_6/N_2$ mixtures have a merit of an environmental aspect and cost reduction, and safty aspects. In order to analyze the prebreakdown processes in $SF_6/N_2$ mixtures stressed by impulse voltages, prebreakdown current and light were observed by a shunt with high sensitivity and a photo-multiplier tube, respectively. Additionally, characteristics of luminous events in flashovers were discussed.

ZnO varistor with composition of ZnO(90wt%)-Bi$_2$O$_3$(3wt%)-Sb$_2$O$_3$(3.6wt%)-CO$_2$O$_3$(1.16wt%)-NiO(0.88wt%)-MnO$_2$(0.71wt%)-Cr$_2$O$_3$(0.93wt%) according to Al$_2$O$_3$addtive was fabricated by sintering methods. The effects of Al$_2$O$_3$dopant on the I-V characteristics of ZnO varistors were investigated. These changes of electric properties were found to be caused by the variation of grains and grain boundary related to Al$_2$O$_3$dopting. And the conductive mechanism of ZnO varistor in prebreakdown region were investigated with defect model.

$SF_6$ is widely used as gas insulation medium because of having excellent dielectric and arc-quenching properties. However the use of it is getting to be suppressed from the viewpoint of mitigating global warming. For the development of environmentally-benign electric power equipment and system, novel gases or mixture gases are strongly required as the substitute of $SF_6$ gas. In this study the authors constructed an experimental system to investigate insulation properties of the mixed gases composed of negative $gas(SF_6)$ and electron deceleration gases$(N_2\;and\;CO_2)$. Breakdown and prebreakdown characteristics of $SF_6/N_2/CO_2$ mixture gases were investigated using the above mentioned system for different rates and gas pressures.

This paper deals with the dielectric characteristics of $SF_{6}$ gas stressed by non-oscillating and oscillating impulse voltages in inhomogeneous field perturbed by a fixed needle shaped-protrusion. The breakdown voltage-time characteristics were measured for both polarities and over the gas pressure range from 0.1 to 0.5 [MPa], and the temporal developments of the prebreakdown were observed. The dependence of the leader stepping time on the gas pressure were obtained.

This paper deals with the prebreakdown phenomena of $SF_{6}$ gap stressed by non-oscillating and oscillating impulse voltages in a strong inhomogeneous field disturbed by a fred needle shaped-protrusion on the earth-side electrode. The breakdown voltage-time characteristics were measured for both positive and negative polarities and over the gas pressure range of 0.1∼0.5 MPa, and the temporal developments of the 77breakdown were observed by a shunt of 50 n. The dependence of the leader stopping time on the gas pressure were obtained. The local field enhancement due to the space charges, which is produced by the streamer corona, has influence with the electrical breakdown of the test gap. The test streamer corona is oxy a necessary condition for the electrical breakdown and the subsequent ionization activities launch the leader at the local field region.

This paper presents prebreakdown characteristics of $SF_6$ gas stressed by the non-oscillating and oscillating impulse voltages in inhomogeneous fields disturbed by metallic protrusion. The purpose of this investigation is to present the predischarge development and dielectric characteristics of $SF_6$ gas under VFTOs. The experiments were carried out using a needle-to-plane gap geometries in the gas pressure ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 MPa. The gap separation was22 mm, and the needle-shaped protrusions were made of stainless steel 10 mm in length and 1.0 mm in diameter. As a result, it was found that the breakdown mechanism and predischarge current are principally dependent on applied voltage waveform and polarity.

이 논문은 금속성 돌기물에 의한 불평등전계중에서의 비진동성과 진동성 임펄스전압에 의한 SF$_{6}$ 가스의 절연파괴 특성에 대해 기술하였다. 절연파괴전압-시간특성을 가스압 0.1-0.5MPa의 범위에서 정.부 극성의 전압을 인가하여 측정하였으며, 그리고 50.ohm.분류기를 통해서 전구방전 전류를 관측하였다. 가스압력에 의한 리이더 진전시간의 의존성도 측정하였다. 스트리머 코로나에 의해 발생하는 공간전하에 의한 국부전계강화는 시험갭의 전기적 절연파괴에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판명되었다. 절연파괴는 초기 스트리머 코로나로부터 발단되어, 국부전계강화에 의한 리이더진전으로 이루어진다.

This paper presents experimental results relating to the preliminary breakdown characteristics in $SF_6/CO_2$ gas mixtures under a highly non-uniform electric field. The impulse pre-breakdown developments are investigated by the measurements of corona current and light emission images. As a result, the preliminary breakdown development mechanisms for both the positive and negative polarities were fundamentally same. The first streamer corona was initiated at the tip of needle electrode, and the leaders developed with a stepwise propagation and bridged the test gap. The pause time of leader pulses in the positive polarity was significantly shorter than that in the negative polarity. Also, the time interval between the first streamer corona onset and breakdown in the negative polarity was much longer than that in the positive polarity. The discharge channel path in the positive polarity was zigzag, and the leader channel in the negative polarity was thicker and brighter than that in the positive polarity.
