Assignment On Corona

This document contains 8 questions related to estimating corona loss and critical voltages for various overhead transmission line configurations operating at different voltages, lengths, conductor diameters, spacings, temperatures, and pressures. The questions involve calculating corona loss, critical disruptive voltage, critical voltages for local and general corona, and determining corona characteristics such as fair and foul weather corona loss. Formulas are provided to derive the potential gradient between conductors to determine the voltage at which corona will start.

place at maximum voltage gradient of 30 kV/cm.

conductors spaced 2.5m apart at the corners of an equilateral triangle. Air temperature
and pressure are 21 degree C and 73.6 cm Hg respectively. The conductor dia,
irregularity factor and surface factors are 10.4mm, 0.85, 0.7 and 0.8 respectively.
3. Determine the critical disruptive voltage and corona loss for a three phase line operating
at 110 kV which has conductor of 1.25cm dia arranged in a 3.05 metre delta. Assume
air density factor 1.07 and the dielectric strength of air to be 21kV/cm
4. Determine the corona characteristics of a three phase , 50Hz 132 kV transmission line

barometric pressure 74 cm. The conductors are 1.5 cm diameter and spaced with
equilateral spacing of 2.75 meters. Assume surface irregularity factor of 0.9 and
