Abstract :
Recent study of the electric properties of perfluoro polyethers (PFPE) have shown that these molecules may be useful as insulating fluids in power transformers and capacitors. To assure their environmental compatibility, a study has been performed of the products formed in the course of electrical discharges of controlled energy. This study includes an analysis of the gaseous products formed. In this paper the first obtained results of gas chromatography and mass spectra analysis of the decomposition compounds produced after several breakdowns in PFPE are presented and discussed
