  • Abstract
    CORONA OFTEN BECOMES the limiting factor in determining satisfactory voltage stress levels in capacitors where high operating stresses are desirable, and obtainable through the use of high-quality insulation. Recognition of this factor has resulted in extensive investigations1 of the effects on corona of many design and operating variables, and subsequent analysis of test results has revealed certain concepts which explain much of the behavior of corona in thin dielectrics.
