    The critical disruptive voltage is the voltage at which the maximum electric field equals the dielectric strength of the surrounding air, causing dielectric breakdown. Corona loss refers to the power lost in the form of light and sound due to the corona phenomenon. Factors that influence corona loss include supply frequency, conductor spacing, atmospheric conditions, conductor radius, surface conditions, and conductor profile.

    Critical Disruptive Voltage


    • The potential gradient at which a dielectric
    disrupts fully is called as dielectric
    strength.
    • For air,
    • g= 30 kV(max)/cm at NTP
    • g = 21.1 kV(rms)/cm at NTP
    • The voltage at which maximum electric
    field equals the dielectric strength of air
    surrounding the conductor is called Critical
    Disruptive Voltage.

    Corona Loss
    • The power lost in the form of light and
    sound due to Corona Phenomenon is called
    as Corona Loss.
    Factors of Corona Loss
    • Supply Frequency

    • Spacing of Conductors

    • Atmospheric Conditions

    • Dust, Rain and Snow


    Factors of Corona Loss
    • Conductor Radius

    • Surface Conditions

    • Profile
    Advantages & Disadvantages
    • It dissipates energy of surges and reduces high voltages and steep frontend
    waveform

    • The effective diameter of conductor is increased so capacitance is increased.

    • Third Harmonic Currents are induced.

    • Interference with Communication Lines and Wireless Signals


    Methods of Reduction
    • Large Diameter Conductors

    • Hollow Conductors

    • Bundled Conductors
    The corona loss on a particular system at 50Hz is
    1kW/km/phase. The corona loss at 60 Hz would be?
    Increasing diameter of conductor increases
    Corona Loss.
    Corona Loss is 0 for HVDC System.
