What are the destructive effects of corona discharge on insulation materials?
Discover how corona discharge damages insulation materials through mechanical bombardment, chemical corrosion, and localized overheating. Learn why this electrical phenomenon accelerates insulation breakdown in transformers and high-voltage equipment, creating safety risks. We explain how ozone (O₃) and nitric acid (HNO₃) degrade organic insulation, plus strategies like corona shielding to prevent failures. Lushan (est. 1975) designs corona-resistant transformers for industries like renewable energy and medical imaging.
