Predetermination of Corona Losses Under Rain: Experimental Interpreting and Checking of a Method to Calculate Corona Losses

Abstract
A new method of predetermining corona losses under rain is suggested. Instead of setting up empirical formulas based on experimenting according to customary proceedings, a quantitative analysis of the loss mechanism is discussed. In this way networks of losses which are valid for any kind of conductor or line are obtained, but in a slightly idealized form due to certain simplifying hypotheses. Further on application is made to show how the new calculation method was tested by way of a very careful experimentation; then it is explained how to pass from idealized networks to directly applicable loss networks. The limits and possibilities of the usage is also specified.
