Abstract
The DC electrical breakdown of SF6 gas at extra-high- voltages was studied experimentally in coaxial systems of moderate size. The results were compared to a similarity relationship of electric stress for breakdown based on ionization of the gas. For laboratory-clean systems, theory and experiment agree when the macroscopic gradient does not exceed 150 to 200 kV/cm. If the active area of the stressed electrode is small the law remains accurate for higher gradients. Departures from the law are qualitatively explained by including the electrode surface microstructure in its application.Keywords
