Abstract

The development of High Voltage Direct Current Gas-Insulated components that will be employed for the power supply of Neutral Beam Injectors, requires specific numerical tools to analyze the electric field distribution, with the purpose of supporting the engineering and operational phases.The tools must comply with the nonlinearity of the material properties of solid insulators and the transport mechanisms in the dielectric gas. Despite its high Global Warming Potential, SF6 will be considered as the baseline dielectric gas for the development of HVDC gas-insulated components to be used for the Acceleration Grid Power Supply of Neutral Beam Injectors. Attention especially to the mechanisms driving to an increase of leakage current flowing in the gas, thus giving rise to possible discharge phenomena is here placed, mainly focusing on radiation and injection regimes. The described methodologies are adopted for the numerical modeling of the 500 kV DC gas-insulated components that will be used for the power supply of the Neutral Beam Injector of the Divertor Tokamak Test facility. In particular, a conceptual design of the SF6 Transmission Line and the SF6-air bushing is conceived.
