Abstract

The greenhouse effect caused by SF6 in the power industry cannot be ignored anymore. The environmentally friendly insulating gas C6F12O has the potential to replace SF6 in the medium and low pressure gas insulated switchgear C-GIS, but the thermostability problem has not been revealed so far when a partial overthermal fault occurs in C-GIS. For this purpose, this paper firstly carried out the C6F12O partial overthermal decomposition experiment on the existing decomposition experimental system of gas insulating medium. According to the results detected by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer GC/MS and calculated by theoretical simulation, it can be seen that the main products of C6F12O decomposition at high temperature are CO, CF4, C2F4, C2F6, C3F6, C3F8, C4F8, C4F10, C5F12, C6F14. Based on the experimental research, the molecular geometry optimization of C6F12O and main decomposed products was carried out by the density functional theory Hybrid:B3LYP method, and the various bond energies in the C6F12O were calculated. From the perspective of bond energy, the sequence and possibility of bond breaking of C6F12O in overthermal state are analyzed in detail. The thermodynamic characteristics of the overthermal decomposition of C6F12O under overthermal state were calculated in detail. The thermal stability of C6F12O was revealed at the molecular level, which laid a theoretical foundation for the future study of C6F12O insulation thermostability.
