what is corona ?..

Answer / deepakrocks4all

As the alternating voltage on a line conductor system is
raised beyond a certain limit, a point is reached when a
faint violet glow appers on the conductor surface,with
hissing noise and a smell of ozone.this phenomenon is
colled corona

what is corona ?..

Answer / surender kumar

It is found in above 11 KV voltage transmission &
distribution line
[1] due to raise in voltage.
[2]Reduction in gap between the line conductors.
[3]air insulation level reduction due to natural weather.

In apearance it is faint circular glow having violet in
colour producing hissing noise.

I hv a question regarding power factor improvement just after transformer. I request you to reply me plzz. thank you sir. My friend has a small unit of fabrication. in his factory the main load is a welding machine, lathe machine, grinding machine. this load is not continuous type. now our electricity board has installed 16 KVA, 11000/433 V transformer for our factory. In the energy meter (trivector meter) at LV side of transformer, i hv seen power factor value of 0.15 only when only 3 KW load was flowing. Further electricity board has suggested to install 4 KVAR capacitor at LV side after energy meter. Now my question is that if we permanantly install and switch on 4 KVAR capacitor after energy meter, during some load on transformer and also without any load on transformer, wht will be the power factor shown in energy meter?i dont want to get any penalty by electricity board, so plz suggest me if i can permanantly install and switch on the 4 kvar capacitor or not at LV side of transformer just after energy meter? Thank you again and awaiting for ur positive reply soon.
