T1 COMPOSITION OF A THERMAL PLASMA FORMED FROM PTFE WITH COPPER IN NON-OXIDANT ATMOSPHERE, PART I: DEFINITION OF A TEST CASE WITH THE SF6 JF High Temperature Material Processes: An International Quarterly of High-Technology Plasma Processes JO HTM YR 2010 FD 2011-02-12 VO 14 IS 3 SP 285 OP 294 K1 circuit breakers K1 SF6 K1 PTFE K1 carbon formation K1 copper K1 dielectric gas K1 plasma composition AB The aim of this paper is to draw the main characteristic from theoretical calculations of a good dielectric gas. The SF6 is widely used in the electrical industry for its dielectric and insulating properties. In the purpose to define available parameters, we study the molar fractions of chemical species in PTFE, SF6, Cu mixture for several proportions and pressures. We show that the carbon solid formation and condensed copper formation depends on the SF6 proportions and the presence of the electronegative ions F.
