Oxidant Measurements in the Vcinity of Energized S65 KV Lines

This paper covers American Electric Power Service Corporation´s extensive field-test program of detection of oxidants in the vicinity of energized 765 kV lines. As part of a program studying the production of oxidant in corona, tests were conducted in a variety of terrain configurations and climatic conditions. Oxidant-measuring techniques and criteria for selection of test locations are also described. Under the conditions of these tests, no measurable amounts of oxidants attributable to the presence and operation of the high-voltage installations were detected.
