Abstract
High precision measurements of the linear part of the Paschen
curve are reported for 1-C3F6/SF6 mixtures. From these
measurements, values for the pressure-reduced limiting electric
field strength (E/p)lim and the associated figure of merit M are
derived. These two parameters can be used to characterise the
insulating properties of a strongly electronegative gas or gas
mixture. The present measurements confirm the existence of
positive synergism.
