AI Thread Summary
A user presents a challenge to derive the Korona voltage formula, claiming that only a few have succeeded so far. They provide a simplified formula for corona start voltage in air at sea level but emphasize that the original formula is more complex. Other participants express concern that the challenge might encourage academic dishonesty, as it resembles homework problems. The discussion highlights the importance of maintaining the forum's integrity and educational purpose. Ultimately, the thread is locked to prevent misuse of the platform.

hi :]

i have a surprise for anyone who can solve my challenge:


we have the korona voltage formula...

let's see who can give me the long way to it (from beginning to end and can explain it).. since it's the final formula..

only 3 people succeed so far

i promise you won't be dissapointed :]

good luck!

Assuming you are talking about Corona (Partial Discharge)

Can't give you the derived formula, but can give you a simplified formula.

t=(Vrms/17236)^1.5

Vrms=60 hertz RMS corona start voltage in air at sea level

t=thickness in inches

Formula is a simplified equation from equation in the Book "Reference Data For Radio Engineers", "Fifth Edition".

Formula is reasonably accurate for transformer using kraft paper or Nomex insulation.

i had this answer a few times.. you are correct but the formula i asked is harder work it wouldn't be fair for other so I'm sry no hard feelings?:wink:

but! if you will find the formula i askes it's 150% surprise for you and not 100% like for the others
 
No.

You might have the wrong idea about why this Forum exists.

It is a group of volunteers who try to help people who need help.

It seems you already have your answer and want to see if anybody will jump through hoops for your amusement. I hope nobody does.
 
no, i got it- i just wanted to give a challenge to everyone here.. makes things more fun and from the suprize i give you can trust me that a lot of ppl can learn a lot from.

:]

As was said, that is not how the PF works. It would be too easy for students to post their homework problems as "challenges", and therby cheat on their homework.

Thread locked.
 
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
