Using a high-speed Imacon photographic camera, it was established that a metallic particle near the insulator surface plays an important role in flashover development. The influence of the particle on flashover development depends on the pressure of the SF/sub 6/ gas. At atmospheric pressure, the flashover was always initiated at a point on the particle farthest from the nearest electrode. At high pressures, it was found that breakdown develops from the electrode of relative positive polarity in the form of a leader. The velocity of the discharge crossing the gap increases exponentially when the distance between the particle and the insulator surface decreases. >","PeriodicalId":13105,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electrical Insulation","volume":"16 1","pages":"219-229"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74016712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electron motion and avalanche growth are simulated by tracing individual paths, and the effect of space charge is included by solving the Poisson equation. The streamer propagation, the electron and positive and negative ion distributions and space charge fields are studied in detail as more time has lapsed after voltage application. The simulated streamer shape explains for the first time the dark space in SF/sub 6/ streamers observed experimentally. It is found that the mechanism of streamer propagation in an attaching gas is different from that in a nonattaching gas. The maximum field enhancement is just behind the streamer or between two successive streamers in SF/sub 6/. The anode-directed streamer propagates with a velocity of 10/sup 7/ to 10/sup 8/ cm/s, depending on the percentage of overvoltage and the gas number density. >","PeriodicalId":13105,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electrical Insulation","volume":"37 1","pages":"261-270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91308279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
