The present invention discloses a gas-insulating medium and its application. The gas-insulating medium includes the following components by
mass: 8.4-76.7 parts of trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-
butene, and 23.3-91.6 parts of
octafluorocyclobutane. The gas-insulating medium of the present invention has a
dielectric strength better
sulfur hexafluoride, and a low
liquefaction temperature, and can be applied in a wider temperature range. In addition, the gas-insulating medium in certain compositions has similar properties with a
single component insulating gas. when the gas leaks, the ratio of trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-
butene and
octafluorocyclobutane remains unchanged, and during the maintenance of
electrical equipment, trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-
butene and
octafluorocyclobutane can be directly supplemented according to a certain ratio, without other operations such as analysis and detection. In addition, the gas-insulating medium of the present invention has good
environmental protection performance, the GWP value is low, and the ODP value is 0.
