Investigation on insulation properties of HFO‐1336mzz(E) and N2/CO2 mixtures as SF6 substitutes in gas‐insulated electrical applications
Abstract The emissions of SF6 have been restricted owing to 3400 years of atmospheric lifetime and high global warming potential (GWP) as an insulating gas in gas‐insulated electrical equipment. In this study, HFO‐1336mzz(E) and N2/CO2 mixtures are proposed as SF6 substitutes for their short atmosph...

| description | Abstract The emissions of SF6 have been restricted owing to 3400 years of atmospheric lifetime and high global warming potential (GWP) as an insulating gas in gas‐insulated electrical equipment. In this study, HFO‐1336mzz(E) and N2/CO2 mixtures are proposed as SF6 substitutes for their short atmospheric lifetime, low GWP and superior insulation performance. The GWP of HFO‐1336mzz(E) is only 18 and its atmospheric lifetime is days to weeks. The breakdown voltage of 25% HFO‐1336mzz(E) and N2/CO2 mixtures is about 85% that of pure SF6 under alternating current. The self‐recovery ability of HFO‐1336mzz(E) and CO2 mixtures is superior to that of HFO‐1336mzz(E) and N2 mixtures. The decomposition characteristic of HFO‐1336mzz(E) shows that a tiny amount of its gas might initiate a carbonisation reaction to form carbon after multiple breakdown tests, which is verified by observations using energy dispersive X‐rays spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. The acute toxicity test of HFO‐1336mzz(E) indicates that the gas is non‐toxic. The results show that HFO‐1336mzz(E) and N2/CO2 mixtures are potential substitutes for SF6 in electrical applications. |
