This document discusses corona discharge, which occurs due to ionization of air around electrically charged conductors under high voltage conditions. Corona discharge is commonly observed near high voltage transmission lines and produces an audible sound. There are three main types of corona discharge: streamer, star, and leader corona. Streamer corona occurs when pre-onset streamers develop into sustained discharges near the electrode surface under DC voltage. Star corona occurs when streamer discharges transition into a glow discharge restricted to the electrode region. Leader corona involves streamers developing into leader discharges that can bridge longer gaps above 1m and potentially cause breakdown. The key factors influencing corona discharge are spacing, atmospheric conditions, and applied voltage level.

Corona discharge is due to ionization of fluid around the conductor which is electrically charged.
Corona discharge mostly occurs in high voltage power system like high voltage transmission line.
Mostly in power system we listen different sound near high voltage transmission line, the sound is
produced due to corona discharge. We observed this practically during internship in Neelum Jhelum
Hydal power project. Many other phenomenon are also link with corona discharge like interference
and power loss. Main factors which produce corona discharge are spacing of conductors, atmospheric
conditions and high potential.
Three types of corona discharge are given as
Streamer Corona
Star Corona
Leader Corona

Types Of Corona
STREAMER CORONA
All electrical discharges require free electrons to get started including streamer discharge.
streamers can be firstly produced from electron avalamche. These streamers are generally
known as pre-onset streamer. Depending on the applied voltage and gap distance, different
forms of electrical discharges can be produced. In short gaps under high voltage, streamers can
reach the opposite electrode leading to streamer breakdown, which usually develops into
an electric arc. Electric arcs can be sustained if the applied voltage is maintained. If the
produced streamers cannot bridge the gap, corona discharges will be formed. Under
electric fields slowly changing in time (e.g. under DC voltages), the discharge is selfsustained
in a limited region around the electrode. Depending on the electrode and applied
voltage, corona discharges usually have two typical modes, namely streamers with
filamentary structures and homogeneous glow It also can transit into arc discharge if the
voltage is maintained as shown in figure. The streamer mechanism varies in the breakdown
process, it begins with an abundance of successive avalanches that transition into a streamer
before ion bombardment of the cathode can occur
STAR CORONA
In the figure below the star corona is shown , which transit from pre-onset streamers. If the
applied voltage is slow changing i.e DC voltage ,the streamer discharge can transit into star
corona which can sustain into limited region in figure it is shown by glow corona. When the
applied voltage is not sufficient to cause a streamer breakdown or a leader breakdown
in the gap, glow corona discharges are restricted around the
surface of the electrodes and are uniformly distributed.

LEADER CORONA
Leader discharges can be incepted if the stem of a streamer reaches a temperature of
about 2000 K. Leader discharges are the most important breakdown mechanism
in long air gaps (> 1m). Once the streamer at the tip of a leader channel reaches the
opposite electrode, leader breakdown occurs. In this case, an electric arc can also be
formed if the applied voltage is maintained Due to low temperature of gases streamer and
glow corona is known as non-thermal or cold plasmas, while leader and arc are known as
thermal plasmas due to high temperature
