Corona Ring for Transmission Line

Corona Ring for Transmission Line

Corona rings (grading rings) are installed on transmission line insulator strings and substation equipment to equalize the electric field distribution. By reducing localized electrical stress at high-voltage, they effectively eliminate corona discharge phenomena that can lead to energy loss, noise, and insulation damage. Our Nooa Corona rings are widely applied in: Overhead transmission lines (≥110 kV)/Substations and switchyards/HVDC and UHV systems.

FAQ

1. What is the main function of a corona ring?

It redistributes the electric field around high-voltage, preventing corona discharge and protecting insulation components.


2. When should corona rings be used?

They are typically required for systems above 110 kV and are essential for 220 kV, 400 kV, and higher voltage levels.


3. Can corona rings be customized?

Yes, dimensions, materials, and configurations can be tailored to match specific project and voltage requirements.


4. What materials are commonly used?

Aluminum alloy is preferred for its lightweight and corrosion resistance, while galvanized steel offers higher mechanical strength.


5. Are corona rings necessary for HVDC systems?

Yes, they are even more critical in HVDC systems due to constant electric stress and higher corona risks.
