Corona in Power Transmission Causes:
• Power Loss • Purple Glow
• Audible Noise • Ozone Production
• Electromagnetic Interference • Insulation Damage
• What does corona indicate?
Corona indicates an intense electrical field. Corona is affected by ambient and material temperature and some other things.
• What can cause an intense electrical field?
Electrical conductivity, conductors and semi-conductors (defective insulating materials), voltage and current all participate in the
formation of an electrical energy field.
• Why should I care?
Insulating materials that are failing can cause flash-overs or outages
• Why will my boss and his boss care?
Any electric power outage costs money in terms of repair time and lack of customer service. We are all consumers of electric
energy.
• How does this cost the power company?
Lost opportunity revenue – you can’t sell electricity or make products if you don’t have a reliable power system. An inexpensive part
can fail and end up destroying a transformer by the time the sparks quit flying. Customers with continuous process applications,
critical care facilities, or computing systems typically require an uninterruptible power source, and they generally have a back-up
generating capacity for part of their load for a limited time to protect against power interruptions.
• What tools are available to identify the presence of corona?
Corona produces sound, nitric acid (in the presence of moisture), ozone, and ultraviolet light. The sound, nitric acid, and ozone are
detectable using microphones and other local detection methods. However, the ultraviolet light can be detected remotely (e.g. from
a distance or through a sightglass) using a corona viewer or corona camera, like the CoronaFinder from Syntronics.
