CORONA Definition & Factor Affecting

CORONA

It is defined as the ionisation of air surrounding the power conductor due to electrons normally present in free space because of radio activity & cosmic rays.
It is self sustained electric discharge in which the field intensified ionization is localized only over a portion of the distance between the electrodes.

Following Phenomenon Occurs

  • A gaint glow around conductors.
  • Acoustical noise.
  • Vibration in conductor.
  • Ozone & Oxides of Nitrogen produce.
  • Power loss
  • Radio interference.

Factor Affecting Corona
  • Conductor surface gradient.
  • Surface condition.
  • Atmospheric condition.
  • Frequency & Wave form of supply
  • Air density factor  = 0.392/ 273+t
