Abstract
A mathematical-physical model of corona current pulses from voltage surges on HV lines is presented. Distributed representation of corona along infinitely long transmission lines is suggested. The surge corona current pulse flows through the transmission line as a series of successive generations of electron avalanches, which develop in the ionization zone around the HV conductor. The initiatory electrons for triggering the current pulse under a positive applied surge are those available in the atmosphere surrounding the HV conductor. The two corona current components, the image component due to the presence of charge carriers (electrons and ions), and the convection component due to the motion of charge carriers in the interelectrode spacing were calculated. The calculated corona current pulse and the charge flow-voltage curve agreed reasonably with those measured experimentally for a coaxial transmission line.
