Innovative insulation coating of the high-voltage line to reduce the corona effect

Abstract

The paper discusses a method for reducing electricity losses on high-voltage power lines through the use of a new insulating coating, the action of which is based on the effect of the “blocking layer”. The study of samples of free-flowing and flexible dielectric regarding the possibility of implementing the proposed coating is presented. Possible combinations of materials for covering power lines wires are analysed, as well as the results of computer modelling and experimental verification of the statements under consideration. Based on the static data of experimental studies, the results of computer modelling and theoretical assumptions, empirical dependences of the volt-ampere characteristics of the reverse corona in the studied samples were obtained.
