| Summary: | This thesis mainly presents a study about Corona Discharge that is commonly
occurred at Ceramic Insulator surface. The purposed of this research is to study
the effect of Corona to the environment in term of the severeness and impact to
human and also wildlife using TERCO HV experiment setup and field
investigation. These methods have been chosen due to its availability, cost
effective and many other reasons. This research is done by analyzing the corona
discharge by-product mainly audible noise during the corona event by using
Sound Level Meter to obtain the desired data. After the experiment is taken place,
the data found reveal the severity of the corona and flashover sound measurement
which happen to formed broadband frequency range noise with a very low and
high frequency threshold compared to human hearing. The decibel level of when
corona occur slightly exceed the comfortable level during daytime which is 60
dB maximum and the value reach to the untolerable level when the flashover is
taking place. Magnetic field with a high reading at a very close range is also
detected but the value reduced exponentially with distance and leave a harmless
exposure at distance more than 8 meter. From the result obtain, corona audible
noise is not significantly affect normal people quality of living. However, this
does not applied to people with sound sensitivity disorder and remote place
which sound different can easily be detected. Low frequency that affect human
health is also a thing to be concern with. The recent study does proved the low
frequency negative effect to human body to be more than myth while the animal
have a tendency to be disturb by high frequency in term of their communication
and sensitive hearing. Safety precatious and consideration by authorities before
installing high voltage structure can reduced the possibility of living beings are
distracted and suffer from the problems discussed. |
