Abstract

Experiments were conducted to detect partial discharge (PD) pulses in presence of solid dielectrics (PTFE and glass filled epoxy) as well as breakdown pulses in $SF_6$, $N_2$ and $SF_6 -N_2$ mixtures under uniform field conditions using a broad band detection system. The effects of circuit parameters, overvoltages, pressure of the gas and the distance between electrodes on pulse shapes were studied in detail for various mixture proportions of $SF_6$ in $SF_6 - N_2$ mixtures. The observed PD pulses are similar go dose of breakdown pulses for longer electrode gaps (>0.3 cm). In case of surface discharges the pulses are oscillatory in nature and inconsistent in shape and magnitude. The effect of saturation in increase in breakdown voltage of $SF_6 -N_2$ mixtures with increase in percentage of $SF_6$ (i.e, synergism) is also observed in the presence of solid dielectric. This synergistic effect is also reflected in corresponding observed PD pulse shapes.
