The widespread use of SF/sub 6/by the electric power and other industries has led to
increased concentrations of SF/sub 6/in the atmosphere. This causes concern as to possible …

Following an examination of the basic gas-discharge concepts, the Townsend breakdown
criterion is derived for nonuniform fields and a reformulation of the streamer criterion is …

Contents Following an examination of the definition of the effective coefficient of ionisation ̄
α, a reformulation of the streamer breakdown criterion is undertaken. The application of this …

The adoption of a field-theoretical approach to problems arising in the framework of
electrical insulation is discussed with reference to six main topics, which have been …

The assessment of prospective new gaseous dielectrics for GIS is discussed. It is shown that
a preliminary assessment of the insulating properties of a new gas can be undertaken from a …

This communication presents a new approach to measurement of the figure-of-merit for
strongly electronegative gases and gas mixtures. Compared with Pedersen's method, which …

A method of determining the field enhancement factor of a practical conductor is presented.
The method is developed from a modified theory of discharge onset in a gaseous medium …

Using analytical linear regression analysis, it is shown that, for a strongly electronegative
gas, the (direct) breakdown voltage curve obtained with a moderately nonuniform field is …

The electric power industry's preferred gaseous dielectric (besides air), sulfur hexafluoride
(SF6), has been shown to be a greenhouse gas. In this report we provide information that is …
