At extreme high voltages the physical geometry of the surfaces at high voltage becomes a critical consideration with respects to suppressing the generation of corona. Corona is a luminous, audible discharge that occurs when there is an excessive localized E-Field gradient upon an object that causes the ionization and possible electrical breakdown of the air adjacent to this point. Effective corona suppression is a crucial factor to take into account when designing high voltage power supplies.

The large diameter, smooth spherical shapes of corona rings/toroids/balls helps to control the local E-Field, thereby suppressing the generation of corona. As the output voltage increases the diameter of the required corona ring/toroid/ball must also increase to obtain effective corona suppression.

What Is A Corona Ring Used For?
The aluminum corona rings are mainly used for high voltage industry to suppress corona effectively. At sharp point (like bushing head) the electric field is high which results in corona. Aluminum corona ring ( shielding ring) should be installed at this point. The ring is suitable for the voltage form of alternating current (AC), which can distribute the high voltage evenly around the object to ensure that there is no potential difference (PD) between the various parts of the ring.

The larger outside diameter, smooth polishing surface finish of aluminum corona rings/shielding rings can help control the local electric field. So electric field gradient reduces and suppresses the corona. As the testing voltage increases the outside diameter of the required corona ring/shielding ring must also increase to obtain better corona control effect. Highv has rich decades of experience in corona rings design and shielding solutions technology, uses advanced manufacturing equipments and high efficient drawing software, which can make sure user’s every project to run more smoothly, safely and efficiently.​

Aluminum Corona rings are also known as corona shielding rings, which are widely used in high voltage test equipments and power systems (substations, high voltage transmission line, AC voltage system, etc.) and are mainly made of aluminum alloy. The aluminum corona ring can be divided into single ring and phase to earth one. Meanwhile, in a lot of supporting AC/DC measurement of electrical equipments, often used aluminum corona rings.
