← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a high-voltage electric arc persists in a gas-insulated substation's circuit?
A)Decomposition into corrosive byproducts✓
B)Increased dielectric withstand capability
C)Stable plasma equilibrium maintenance
D)Enhanced thermal dissipation efficiency
💡 Explanation
Arc breakdown causes decomposition because strong electric fields initiate SF6 *dissociation*, releasing fluorine that reacts with the enclosure, therefore creating corrosive products, rather than inert plasma or improved insulation, under sustained arc conditions.
