Visual voltage and disruptive critical voltage
Visual Critical Voltage:At disruptivevoltage
Vc, the glow of corona does not appear along
the conductorsbut at a higher voltage Vv,
termed as Visual critical voltage. The phase-
neutral effective value of visual critical voltage
can be determined by the following formula:
Where m v is another irregularity factor. Its
value is 1 when conductors' surface is polished,
and 0.72 to 0.82 for rough conductors.

The formation of corona is always accompanied by the loss of energy
which is dissipated in the form of light, heat, sound and chemical action.
When disruptive voltage is exceeded, according to F.W. peek, the corona
loss under Fairweather conditions is given by:
Where,
f = supply frequency in Hz
Vθ = phase-neutral voltage (r.m.s.)
Vc = disruptive voltage (r.m.s.) per phase
PC = corona power loss
d = spacing ( or equivalent spacing) between conductors (meters)
r = radius of the conductor (meters)
𝛽 = air density factor

It also noted that for a single-phase line
Vθ =

And for three phase line
Vθ =

Peek’s formula for corona loss is valid when the ratio of
Vθ
Vc
>1.8, but when
Vθ
Vc
<1.8 the
following formula known as Peterson’s formula, gives better results:
Pc = 2.1f

Where
P𝑐 = corona loss in KW/phase/Km
f = supply frequency Hz
Vθ= rms phase voltage in KV
r = radius of conductor in meters
D = spacing ( or equivalent spacing) between conductors in meters
F = factor of corona loss function. It varies with the ratio

The corona effect is phenomenonthat occur in high voltage that cause power losses in transmission
line that we show how to calculate previously, and corona could damage the insulators, but it has a
useful benefits that we use today.
