Negative corona onset characteristics of the stranded conductors based on the ultra-high voltage (UHV) corona cage were studied in the paper. Based on the corona self-sustaining criterion in extreme uneven electric fields and the secondary emission process of the photoelectrons, the corona onset calculation model in the UHV corona cage is established and the corona current tests of the single LGJ900-75, 6 bundle LGJ900-75, 8 bundle LGJ400-35 conductors in dry and rain conditions were done in the UHV corona cage, and the rain rates are 2.4 mm/h, 20 mm/h and 30 mm/h. Corona onset electric field strength is gained by E-I tangent method, and the onset electric field strength in dry condition proves that the calculation model can be used to calculate the corona onset characteristics of the bundle conductors in the UHV corona cage. A further analysis proves that: the negative corona onset voltage of the conductor increases with the bundle number and the diameter of the sub conductor, but decreases with the bundle space in the corona cage. The onset electric field strength is influenced little by bundle space and bundle number, but decreases with the increase of the diameter of the sub-conductor. The surface irregularity coefficient decreases with the rain rate.

Electrostatic precipitators(EPs) have low pressure drop and high dust collection efficiency and are widely used for industrial dust collectors. The current-voltage characteristics, which are important to maintain high dust collection efficiency, depend on several factor: discharge electrode shape, gas flow property, dust loading etc. In this study, experiments are performed to investigate the current-voltage characteristics of the corona discharge of various electrode geometries and an empirical model is proposed to predict current-voltage characteristics of the corona discharge. The corona onset voltage correction coefficient$(\alpha)$ and the geometry correction coefficient$(k_g)$ are used to the conventional equation for wire-plate type discharge electrode. The corona onset voltages are -6.3kV and almost constant when the numbers of discharge pins are varied from 3 to 9. The length of discharge pins has very sensitive effects on the corona onset voltage. They are increased from -6.3 to -7.8kV when the discharge pin length are 8.5 and 4.5mm, respectively. The empirical model shows good agreement with experimental results and can predict the effects of discharge pin length and number.

This study conducts a laboratory measurement on a cylindrical electrostatic precipitator(ESP) with a 30mm-diameter cylinder. Several kinds of test aerosols are generated with an atomizer and a diffusion dryer. The effects of applied voltage, flow state, gas velocity, and gas temperature on the electrical characteristics of the precipitator and onset of corona are experimentally investigated. The corona onset voltage is decreased, as diameter of discharge electrode wire becomes small or temperature of the precipitator increases. As the fluid velocity or particle load in the precipitator increases, the corona current is decreased.

Characteristics of corona discharge of the different types of the plasma reactors which are cone-hole and cone-plate is investigated experimentally. The discharge starts at lower voltage for the cathode corona than the anode corona and spark occurs at higher voltage for the cathode corona. And the cathode corona makes more stable discharge than the anode corona. The effect of the base gas in corona discharge for different O$_2$/N$_2$ concentrations is related with the gas molecular weight. The discharge for the smaller molecular weight gas occurs easier than for the high molecular weight gas. The discharge current decreases with the increase of oxygen concentration and it increases more sharply for anode corona than for cathode corona as discharge voltage increases after corona onset voltage. NO-NO$_2$ conversion increases with the energy density of corona discharge and the addition of O$_2$ in a base N$_2$ gas.

Corona discharge and ozone generation characteristics of a wire-plate plasma reactor, with a biased third electrode, have been investigated with an emphasis on the role of the bias voltage and frequency applied on the third electrode. It was found that the wire-plate plasma reactor, with the biased third electrode, had a switching characteristic on its I-V characteristics for negative and positive discharges, which is very different from that of a conventional wire-plate plasma reactor without the third electrode. As a result, the corona discharge and ozone generation characteristics of the proposed plasma reactor could be controlled by adjusting the bias voltage and frequency of the third electrode. The corona onset and breakdown voltages, and ozone generation and yield, were increased compared with those of without the third electrode. These, however, reveal the effectiveness of the biased third electrode.

A point plate type nonthermal plasma reactor, with a grounded cylindrical third electrode which closely- encompasses the needle point, have been investigated with an emphasis on the role of the third electrode. It was found that the point plate airgap, with the grounded third electrode, had a switching characteristic on its I V characteristics for negative and positive discharges, which is very different from that of a conventional point plate airgap without a third electrode. The corona discharge and ozone generation characteristics of the plasma reactor with the grounded cylindrical third electrode, such as the corona onset voltage. the breakdown voltage. the corona current. and the amount of output ozone, were influenced significantly by the height of the third electrode. and these characteristics can be controlled by adjusting the height of the third electrode.

The characteristics of $NO-NO_2$ conversion and soot oxidation by corona discharge are investigated experimentally. The discharge current decreases with the increase of oxygen concentration and it increases more sharply for anode corona than for cathode corona as discharge voltage increases after corona onset voltage. $NO-NO_2$ conversion increases with the energy density of corona discharge and the addition of $O_2$ in a base $N_2$ gas. Soot oxidation occurs at approximately $480^{\circ}C$ in a mixture of 21% $O_2$, base $N_2$ gas, and enhances as temperature increases. The initiation temperature of soot oxidation advances greatly to about $280^{\circ}C$ with the addition of 300ppm $NO_2$, which is generated from the conversion of NO to $NO_2$ by corona discharge. CO is generated at higher temperature by about $50{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ than $CO_2$ in the process of soot oxidation.

The occurrence of fires under transmission lines is responsible for a great number of power line outages. In this paper, the ac flashover voltages and the corona onset voltages of a needle-plane electrode gap of vertical arrangement in the presence of flame were investigated. We also observed the corona discharge current and variation of shapes in flame with increasing the applied voltages. We found that the corona onset voltages and the flashover voltages were drastically decreased with the position of flames and gap length of electrodes, and observed that the deflection or fluctuation phenomena in the shape of flames.

This paper presents the experimental results of the dielectric characteristics with temperature changes under highly non-uniform electric field in $SF_6$ gas. The impulse preliminary breakdown developments were investigated by the measurement of predischarge current and breakdown voltage. As a result, the first stremer corona is initiated at the tip of needle electrode, and bridges the test gap. Also the first stremer corona onset and breakdown voltages the negative polarity was much higher than that in the positive polarity in same temperature. In addition, the varition of temperature have a little effect on the positive polarity. On the other hand, in some cases negative polarity corona onset and breakdown voltages increased with increasing a high temperature.

Gas removal characteristics of an air clean system, consisted of a filter and a nonthermal discharge plasma reactor with a magnetic field, have been investigated with emphasis on the enhancing gas removal efficiency of the applied magnetic field. It is found that the magnetic field influenced significantly to the corona discharge characteristics, decreasing the corona onset voltage and increasing the corona current. As a result, the proposed air clean system with the magnetic field showed the higher removal efficiency of the gas (e.g., trimethlyamine) than that of without the magnetic field. This would be because the magnetic field applied to the discharge plasma reactor of the air clean system can elevate the corona characteristics, and activate the generation of ozone, thus the removal efficiency of the gas was concurrently enhanced. This reveals that the proposed air clean system with the magnetic field could be used as an effective means of removal an indoor pollutant gas.
