Abstract :
Tests were conducted on a high-voltage overhead direct-current test line. Values of radio interference and corona loss were established for certain conductor configurations and pole spacings. Relations between radio interference and corona loss and some weather variables were evaluated. Insulator leakage currents and induced overhead ground wire currents were investigated.
