Abstract: Experimental investigation of the current-voltage characteristics in corona discharges in
SF6-N2 gas mixtures have been carried out in a point to plane configuration. Empirical
formulae have been used to determine the corona onset voltages (V0) in both polarities
at higher pressure. The results show that for low concentrations of SF6 the increase of
the onset voltage is relatively substantial, whereas, for amounts over 10 % of SF6 the
increase is slowed down. This can be an advantage for the substitution of SF6. The
results obtained with the empirical models are compared with the measures values.
Calculated values overestimate V0 for low SF6 ratio (≤ 5 % SF6) and underestimate V0
for high pressures (≥ 50 % SF6).
