Recently, much attention has been paid to SF6-CO2 mixtures as one of substitutes for pure SF6 gas. In this paper, the dielectric breakdown properties of hot SF6-CO2 mixtures are investigated at temperatures of 300–3500 K and pressures of 0.01–1.0 MPa. Under the assumptions of local thermodynamic equ...
