Corona Shield

Corona shields are a type of protective device that falls under the supply class of Fuses, Arrestors, Absorbers, and Protectors in the supply group of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components.

Corona shields are specifically designed to mitigate the effects of corona discharge in electrical systems. Corona discharge is a phenomenon that occurs when there is a high voltage gradient in the air surrounding conductors, resulting in the ionization of air molecules and the formation of a corona or halo around the conductor. This corona discharge can lead to various issues such as power loss, radio interference, and even damage to the electrical equipment.

Corona shields are typically made of materials with high electrical conductivity, such as copper or aluminum. They are installed around high voltage conductors or components to provide a path of low resistance for the corona discharge to follow. By doing so, corona shields help to prevent the formation of corona and reduce its negative effects.

In summary, corona shields are protective devices used in electrical and electronic systems to mitigate the effects of corona discharge. They are part of the broader supply class of Fuses, Arrestors, Absorbers, and Protectors in the supply group of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components.
