This study analyzed the discharge process and characteristics of CF3I gas mixtures through mathematical modeling, showing that while the insulation performance is slightly weaker than SF6, it has the potential to be a substitute for SF6.
As an environmentally friendly gas with good insulation and stable chemical properties, CF3I gas mixture is considered as a potential alternative to SF6 gas to compensate for the shortcomings of SF6 gas as a greenhouse gas. This article attempts to study the CF3I ternary gas mixtures with c-C4F8 and N-2 by considering the process of streamer development in surface discharge. The model of surface discharge in CF3I gas mixture under DC voltage was established by COMSOL, and the drift-diffusion equations of particles was solved to show the discharge process, and the changes of electric field and particle concentration, etc. during the development of streamer were obtained, which provides the theoretical basis for the reliable diagnosis of partial discharge. On this basis, the model is compared with models for two other different gases (SF6/N-2, artificial air) in terms of particle characteristics, streamer characteristics and streamer branches characteristics. Finally, it is concluded that under this model, although the insulation characteristics in CF3I gas mixture are weaker than those in SF6, the difference is not large and both are much better than those in artificial air, so c-C4F8/CF3I can be considered as a potential substitute for SF6.
