C3F7CN has been the focus of the alternative gas research field over the past two years because of its excellent insulation properties and environmental characteristics. Experimental studies on its insulation performance have made many achievements. However, few studies on the formation mechanism of the decomposition components exist. A discussion of the decomposition characteristics of insulating media will provide guidance for scientific experimental research and the work that must be completed before further engineering application. In this study, the decomposition mechanism of C3F7CN in the presence of trace H2O under discharge was calculated based on the density functional theory and transition state theory. The reaction heat, Gibbs free energy, and activation energy of different decomposition pathways were investigated. The ionization parameters and toxicity of C3F7CN and various decomposition products were analyzed from the molecular structure perspective. The formation mechanism of the C3F7CN discharge decomposition components and the influence of trace water were evaluated. This paper confirms that C3F7CN has excellent decomposition characteristics, which provide theoretical support for later experiments and related engineering applications. However, the existence of trace water has a negative impact on C3F7CN's insulation performance. Thus, strict trace water content standards should be developed to ensure dielectric insulation and the safety of maintenance personnel.
