Partial discharge (PD) is the most unwanted phenomenon in high voltage insulation system. It causes degradation to the equipment insulation leading eventually to the breakdown and system failure. One type of PD, called corona discharge, occurs due to the ionization of the air between high voltage electrode and the ground or at any sharp point under high voltage stress. In this work, the electric field (EF) distribution was simulated using finite element analysis (FEA) to study the influence of EF on corona discharges due to different electrode geometries.
