Abstract
A comprehensive study has been carried out in $SF_6/CCL_2F_2/C0_2$ mixtures to measure 50% breakdown voltages $(V_5_0)$ using both positive and negative polarity lightning impulse (1.2/50 $\mu$s) voltages under non-uniform fields (5 mm. rod – 230 mm plane electrode) over a pressure range of 0.1 to 0.5 HPa for a gap spacing of 20 mm. The sum of $SF_6$,and $CCL_2F_2$ concentrations in the mixture was always maintained in the range of 21 to 40%, rest being $CO_2$. Among the different sets of $SF_6/CCL_2F_2/CO_2$ mixtures studied, two ternary mixtures, namely 20% $SF_6/20% CCL_2F_2/60% CO2$ and 30% $SF_6/10% CCL_2F_2/60% CO_2$ are found superior to $SF_6$. From the known gas content in the mixtures and from the measured breakdown voltages a cost/benefit analysis has been carried out for the various mixtures investigated. A striking feature of this analysis is that the most promising ternary gas mixture, namely, 30% $SF_6/10% CCL_2F_2/60% CO_2$, costs only 33% of the cost of pure $SF_6$, giving 110% to 130% positive breakdown strength, and 90 to 100% negative breakdown strength as compared to that of pure $SF_6$.
