Xiao D. Gas Discharge and Gas Insulation

Springer Heidelberg New York Dordrecht London, 2016. –367 p. – ISBN: 978-3-662-48040-3.Over a century, the study of gas discharge is very active, and the production and development of modern science and technology have greatly contributed to the in-depth study of various types of discharge. Meanwhile, the research progress of gas discharge has played a huge role in promoting the further production and development of science and technology.
Both now and in the future, the insulation gas must be environmentally acceptable. Therefore, the best solution to the global warming problem affected by insulation gases may be to prevent releasing harmful insulation gases into the atmosphere. However, from the point of view of the dependence on industrial gas and the social value of insulation gas, it is hard to imagine what would be happening when completely removing the use of insulation gas. So the solution should emphasize the need to find a kind of environmentally friendly insulation gas, and it is also necessary to study the high-voltage insulation technology on substitute for SF₆ gas.
With increasing concentrations of SF₆ in the atmosphere, which results in essentially irreversible effects on global warming, it is significant to carry out studies of searching for possible alternatives to pure SF₆ with lower environmental impact as the insulating medium. In order to promote research on the new environmentally friendly insulating gas, a professional book concerned with gas dielectrics, involving SF₆ and its mixtures, as well as the possible alternative gases, is needed urgently.Fundamentals of Gas Discharge
