Abstract

An electric facility includes: a metal tank in which a conductor member is disposed, the metal tank being filled with a dielectric, in which the dielectric contains at least one selected from the group consisting of 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene; and a surface of the conductor member includes one or more selected from the group consisting of a metal and a metal oxide.

Claims (25)

1. An electric facility, comprising:

a metal tank;

a conductor member positioned in the metal tank; and

a dielectric filling the metal tank and comprising at least one selected from a group consisting of 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene,

wherein the conductor member has a surface comprising a metal selected from a group consisting of aluminum, copper, silver, tin, zinc iron and chromium or an alloy comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of aluminum, copper silver tin zinc iron and chromium.

2. The electric facility according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of a Z-isomer and an E-isomer of the 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and a Z-isomer and an E-isomer of the 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene.

3. The electric facility according to claim 2 , wherein the dielectric comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of the Z-isomer of the 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and the Z-isomer of the 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene.

4. The electric facility according to claim 2 , wherein the dielectric comprises the Z-isomer of the 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and the Z-isomer of the 1,1, 1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene.

5. The electric facility according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric comprises a Z-isomer and an E-isomer of the 1-chloro-2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropene, and a mass ratio of the Z-isomer/the E-isomer in a total mass of the 1-chloro-2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropene is from 99/1 to 50/50.

6. The electric facility according to claim 5 , wherein the mass ratio of the Z-isomer/the E-isomer in the total mass of the 1-chloro-2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropene is from 99/1 to 80/20.

7. The electric facility according to claim 5 , wherein the mass ratio of the Z-isomer/the E-isomer in the total mass of the 1-chloro-2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropene is from 99/1 to 95/5.

8. The electric facility according to claim 1 , wherein the electric facility is one of a switch, a breaker, and a disconnector.

9. The electric facility according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the conductor member further comprises a metal oxide selected from a group consisting of zinc oxide, iron oxide, and aluminum oxide.

10. The electric facility according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric satisfies −0.7 area %≤ΔZ≤0.7 area % and −0.7 area %≤ΔE≤0.7 area %.

11. The electric facility according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric satisfies −0.5 area %≤ΔZ≤0.5 area % and −0.5 area %≤ΔE≤0.5 area %.

12. The electric facility according to claim 1 , wherein the metal tank includes at least one diluent gas selected from a group consisting of helium, xenon, methane, nitrous oxide, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, air, and oxygen.

13. The electric facility according to claim 12 , wherein a volume ratio of the dielectric to a total of the dielectric and the diluent gas is in a range of from 1 to 70 vol %.

14. The electric facility according to claim 12 , wherein a volume ratio of the dielectric to a total of the dielectric and the diluent gas is in a range of from 2 to 30 vol %.

15. The electric facility according to claim 12 , wherein a volume ratio of the dielectric to a total of the dielectric and the diluent gas is in a range of from 3 to 5 vol %.

16. The electric facility according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric includes at least one selected from a group consisting of (E)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, difluoroethylene, trifluoroethylene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene, (E)-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and (Z)-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene.

17. An electric facility, comprising:

a metal tank;

a conductor member positioned in the metal tank; and

a dielectric filling the metal tank and comprising at least one selected from a group consisting of 1-chloro-2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropene and 1,1, 1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene,

wherein the dielectric satisfies −1.0 area %≤ΔZ≤1.0 area % and −1.0 area %≤ΔE≤1.0 area %, where ΔZ is a change amount of a peak area of a Z-isomer in the dielectric from an initial value measured by a gas chromatograph after a lapse of 1008 hours under a temperature condition of 160° C., and ΔE is a change amount of a peak area of an E-isomer in the dielectric from an initial value measured by a gas chromatograph after a lapse of 1008 hours under a temperature condition of 160° C.
