Q4:Calculate the rms voltage (the visual critical corona
voltage), corresponding to Ea, to be applied to a concentric
cylindrical arrangement with a 5 mm radius (a) for the inner
conductor and a 200 mm radius for the outer cylinder (b).
Use δ = 1 and m = 1?
Solution
V = Ea a ln(b/a), V = 31m δ (1+0.308/ √ ( δ 0.5)) 0.5 ln
(20/0.5) = 3*1*1*(1+0.308/ √ (0.5)) 0.5 ln(40) = 82 kV peak,
i.e. 58 kV rms.
