what is corona effect?

Answer Posted / pravin kumar singh

In normal atmospheric condition ion & free electron are always present because of cosmic ray , radioactivity,& ultraviolet ray.When a voltage applied to the conductor a potential gradient in the air near to the conductor ,the free electron & ion start moving.But when these voltage increase very high ,the speed of the electron is very high,and they collide with the neutral molecule & disclosed the electron from it & farther electron acquire high speed & start colliding with the other molecules.the process of ionization is cumulative which finely result in electron avalanche.the ionization of air surrounding the conductors give rise the corona effect.

A 400 V, 50 Hz, Δ connected synchronous generator has a field reactance of 0.1 Ω and armature resistance of 0.015 Ω. At full load, the machine supplies 1200 A at 0.8 pf lagging. Under full-load conditions, the friction and windage losses are 40 KW and the core losses are 30 KW. What is the machine’s overall efficiency? Ignore any field circuit losses.
