The limiting reduced field strengths are decided by a balance of electron generation and loss based on chemical reactions estimated by the electron energy distribution function （EEDF）, which employs the Boltzmann equation method with two-term expanding approximation in the steady-state Townsend （SST） condition. During the insulation recovery phase, the hot CF3I/CO2 gas mixtures have maximum dielectric strength at a temperature of about 1500 K. At room temperature 300 K, the electric strength after arc extinction （90.3 Td, 1 Td=10-21 V.m2） is only 38% of the original value before arc （234.9 Td）. The adverse insulation recovery ability of CF3I/CO2 gas mixtures in arc extinction hinders its application in electric circuit breakers and other switchgears as an arc quenching and insulating medium.展开更多
