The corona-induced radio interference and audible noise become important factors influencing the configuration and costs of transmission project. For understanding the effects of contaminations on the corona pulse characteristics of an HVDC transmission line,a corona cage was adopted to experimentally investigate corona pulse inception voltage and corona pulse characteristics of the conductors with different contaminations on surfaces. The contaminations include simulated contaminations,carbon powder,cement and fine sand. The results show that when conductor is covered with contaminations,the positive polarity corona pulses have high amplitude and low frequency,while the negative polarity corona pulses have low amplitude and incremental high frequency components. The corona pulse inception voltage presents a negatively exponential decrease with the increase of contamination density,showing a saturation trend. Fine sand shows the greatest effect on the corona pulse inception voltage with positive polarity,while cement shows the least effect. A function of corona inception voltage and surface contamination density is given. This study may provide reference for design of transmission lines.展开更多
