Inhibition Effect of Solid Products and DC Breakdown Characteristics of the HFO1234Ze(E)-N-O Ternary Gas Mixture.

HFO1234ze(E) is an environmentally friendly SF substitute gas with prominent application potential. To suppress the generation of the HFO1234ze(E) solid decomposition products, which may cause great hazards to the gas-solid insulation strength, a gas mixing scheme screening method based on the reactive force field (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was innovatively proposed. The simulation results show that the inhibitory effect of O on the formation of HFO1234ze(E) solid products is better than those of CO and CF. Further study shows that when O accounts for 3.33% of the gas mixture, the solid precipitate content is reduced by 48%. The experimental study shows that an O content of 3.33% can inhibit the generation of solid products by more than 50%. Besides, compared with HFO1234ze(E)-N, the DC breakdown voltage of HFO1234ze(E)-N-O is slightly increased, and the breakdown voltage dispersion degree and continuous breakdown voltage drop rate are decreased. This work gives a feasible solution for the suppression of HFO1234ze(E) solid decomposition products and provides an efficient method for solving similar problems of environmentally friendly insulating gas in C/F/O/N systems.
