“…In addition, considering that various insulation defects introduced by manufacturing, production, operation and maintenance of GIE can induce PD and lead to gas decomposition, it is necessary to evaluate the discharge stability and decomposition characteristics of eco-friendly insulating gas [21,22]. As for HFO-1234ze(E) gas mixture, Gunawan et al pointed out that the decomposition of HFO-1234ze(E) produces pentafluoroethane (CHF 2 CF 3 ), 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (CH 3 CF 3 ), and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (CH 2 CFCF 3 ) [23]. Lin et al further conducted the ReaxFF-MD simulation and indicated that the main particle by-products of HFO-1234ze(E) are C 2 F 2 , CN, CNF, H, N, F, and HN 2 [24].…”
