Abstract

In this paper, a wire-cylinder electrode system was designed to study the negative DC corona pulses due to the influence of AC voltage applied to an adjacent conductor. The corona onset voltage and distribution pattern and the parameters of the corona current pulses such as the rise time, pulse duration and the average pulse amplitude are systematically analyzed. The AC voltage is found to have an interesting modulation effect on the time interval of the current pulses. At last, based on a simplified ion cloud model, a full explanation is given to reveal the mechanism behind the influence of the AC voltage on negative DC corona.
