This paper dealt with characteristics of partial discharge (PD) initiated by metallic particles under DC voltage in green gas for grid (g3), which is an emerging and promising eco-friendly alternative insulation gas to SF6. Experimental setup was configured to simulate PD under DC in gas-insulated power facilities. Two types of particle, namely rectangle particle and sphere particle were used. The results indicated that the discharge inception voltages in g3 gas were 90.1-92.5% of that in SF6. In two particles, PD occurred with higher average apparent charge and discharge repetition rate in g3 compared with those in
