This invention relates to the field of insulation testing technology for power
system equipment, and particularly to a coaxial
electrode structure and a high-
voltage insulation testing device using this structure. The coaxial
electrode structure includes a
cylindrical conductor with an annular protrusion extending radially outward on its outer circumference. This annular protrusion constitutes the
discharge portion of the
cylindrical conductor. The dimensions of the annular protrusion (including outer
diameter and length) are set by
electric field simulation based on the physical properties of the
environmentally friendly insulating gas. After the
cylindrical conductor is placed in a test cylinder filled with the specified
environmentally friendly insulating gas, a
high voltage is applied to the conductor. Based on the gas
discharge law, the annular protrusion constitutes the
discharge portion of the cylindrical conductor, causing the discharge to occur at a predetermined location, namely between the annular protrusion and the inner wall of the test cylinder, thereby forming an air gap breakdown. This allows for the acquisition of the discharge laws of
environmentally friendly insulating gases with different pressures, compositions, and proportions, yielding the air gap insulation
breakdown voltage of the insulating gas used in GIS (
Gas Insulation System), thus providing support for the insulation structure design of GIS products.
