Option 1 : Pulse less
Corona Formation:
- The ionization of air surrounding the high voltage transmission lines causing the conductors to glow, producing a hissing noise, is called Corona Discharge or Corona Effect.
- In transmission lines, conductors are surrounded by the air.
- Air acts as a dielectric medium. When the voltage of air surrounding the conductor exceeds the value of 30kV/cm, the charging current starts to flow through the air, which causes the air to be ionized.
- The ionized air act as a virtual conductor, producing a hissing sound with a luminous violet glow known as the corona.
Corona in EHV transmission line:
- Pulseless corona is one of the types of corona discharge that takes place in EHV transmission line conductors.
- The corona current pulses generated by corona discharge are the sources of radio interference from transmission lines.
