 Corona
Effect occurs when electricity is discharged into the surrounding
atmosphere from a high voltage source. When a Wire Marker is placed on a
high voltage wire, it can become a focal point for this electrical
discharge. The current through the Marker can generate enough heat to
cause damage to the Marker and subsequently to the wire on which it is
mounted.
Corona Protection is provided by applying a semi-conductive coating to the
interior of the Marker. This coating is then electrically bonded to the
conductor wire with a bonding cable or strap. This process provides a low
resistance path for electrical current, reducing the heating effect of the
current.
Available only for the KJ Series Wire Marker. |
