Abstract

This paper dealt with characteristics of partial discharge (PD) initiated by metallic particles under DC voltage in green gas for grid (g3), which is an emerging and promising eco-friendly alternative insulation gas to SF₆. Experimental setup was configured to simulate PD under DC in gas-insulated power facilities. Two types of particle, namely rectangle particle and sphere particle were used. The results indicated that the discharge inception voltages in g3 gas were 90.1-92.5% of that in SF₆. In two particles, PD occurred with higher average apparent charge and discharge repetition rate in g3 compared with those in SF₆ gas. The time-resolved partial discharge presented similar characteristics in g3 and SF₆ gas. The time interval between two successive discharge pulses were 0.1 ms-10 ms and 5 ms-15 ms in the rectangle particle and sphere particle, respectively. Results from this paper are expected to provide fundamental material for the development of SF₆ -free gas-insulated power apparatus.
