Electronegative gases like SF6 are used in gas insulated switchgear due to their high dielectric strength. When a high voltage is applied, electrons attach to gas molecules rather than ionizing them. This prevents avalanche formation and increases the voltage required for breakdown. However, if the electric field is strong enough, electrons can be detached from molecules through impact ionization, allowing an avalanche to develop and lead to breakdown.
