Modelling of Positive Streamers in SF<sub>6</sub> Gas under Non-Uniform Electric Field Conditions: Effect of Electronegativity on Streamer Discharges

The use of SF<sub>6</sub> in electrical insulation and fast-switching applications cannot be overemphasized. This is due to its excellent dielectric properties and high breakdown voltage, which are especially important for practical applications such as gas-insulated switchgears and puls...
