First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A high voltage electrical system suitable for an aircraft comprising: an enclosure containing an electrically insulating gas composition comprising: C 3 F 7 CN, in an amount between 22% and 70% by volume; one or more inert gas selected from the list consisting of nitrogen, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), air and argon; an electrical device insulated by the electrically insulating gas composition; and a pressurisation system configured to maintain the electrically insulating gas composition in the enclosure at an absolute pressure of between 50 kPa and 200 kPa. 2. The high voltage electrical system suitable for an aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically insulating gas composition comprises C 3 F 7 CN in an amount between 22% and 40% by volume, with the remainder of the electrically insulating gas composition consisting of CO 2 , save for incidental impurities. 3. The high voltage electrical system suitable for an aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically insulating gas composition comprises C 3 F 7 CN in an amount between 22% and 70% by volume, with the remainder of the electrically insulating gas composition consisting of one or more of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen. 4. The high voltage electrical system suitable for an aircraft according to claim 3 , wherein the electrically insulating gas composition comprises a mixture of 30% by volume C 3 F 7 CN in a binary mixture with 70% carbon dioxide. 5. The high voltage electrical system suitable for an aircraft according to claim 3 , wherein the electrically insulating gas composition comprises a mixture of 30% by volume C 3 F 7 CN in a binary mixture with 70% nitrogen. 6. The high voltage electrical system suitable for an aircraft according to claim 3 , wherein the electrically insulating gas composition comprises a mixture of 40% C 3 F 7 CN by volume, in a binary mixture with 60% carbon dioxide. 7. The high voltage electrical system suitable for an aircraft according to claim 3 , wherein the electrically insulating gas composition comprises a mixture of 70% C 3 F 7 CN by volume, in a binary mixture with 30% carbon dioxide. 8. A method of insulating a high voltage electrical system of an aircraft, the method comprising: providing an enclosure containing a high voltage electrical component, filled with an insulating gas at a pressure between 10 kPa and 200 kPa, the insulating gas comprising: C 3 F 7 CN, in an amount between 22% and 70% by volume; one or more inert gas selected from the list consisting of nitrogen, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), air and argon. 9. A method according to claim 8 , wherein the insulating gas comprises approximately 25% C 3 F 7 CN and 75% of an inert buffer gas, and the enclosure is arranged to be maintained at a pressure of between 60 kPa and 100 kPa.
