Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) is widely used in high-voltage circuit breakers because of its insulating properties and interrupting capability, although concerns related to its environmental impact and decomposition products encourage efforts to limit its use. This study determines the equilibrium chemical composition of SF₆–air plasmas at atmosph(...)

Electrical equipment, such as circuit breakers, often encounters operational issues, such as short-circuit failures. These malfunctions can be attributed to the deposition of aerosols containing aluminium oxide (Al2O3), calcium oxide (CaO), ferric oxide (Fe2O3), and silica (SiO2) on the devices. Previous studies have examined the influence of(...)
