    Unidirectional Corona Ring

    Uploaded by

    Travis Wood
    Corona rings are used on transmission insulators to minimize unwanted noise and corona effects from high voltages. They attach to the ends of insulators for systems 230kV and above, but may also be needed at lower voltages in special applications. Maclean Power Systems offers easy to install Smart Fit corona rings that are unidirectional and can be installed with hot stick tools. They recommend corona ring usage on insulators 230kV and above according to an application table, but special environments may also require them.

    Corona Ring Information Sheet

    High voltages can result in unwanted noise (RIV) and corona. To minimize the effects of
    corona, corona rings are applied to one or both ends of the insulator (attached onto the
    end fittings). Typically, for system voltages 230kV and above a corona ring or combination
    of rings is necessary. However, some applications may require rings at lower system
    voltages when addition corona protection is required; high contamination, high altitude, or
    applications with tight phase spacing. For these special cases or any corona ring
    application assistance, contact MPS.

    The MPS Smart Fit corona rings are designed around the needs of the end user. It is
    easy to install, unidirectional (not able to install in the wrong direction), and can be
    installed or removed with hot stick tools. By making the ring a one-piece design, we have
    eliminated the problem of missing or lost parts. This was made possible by designing a
    unique clamping mechanism that uses two bolted keepers to secure the ring to the
    insulator. Additionally, the clamping section was designed such that the ring can only be
    installed in one direction, which eliminates the problem of misapplied rings. As a final
    step, the ring was designed with a split (opening) to allow installation with hot stick tools.

    For insulators 230 kV and above, MPS recommends use of Corona Rings. The application table
    above depicts typical corona ring usage on MPS suspension Insulators. For corona ring usage
    on special applications, environments, and elevations, please contact MPS.
