Balun Transformer – Balanced vs Unbalanced Transmission Lines

What is a balun? A Balun is special type of transformer that performs two functions i.e. impedance transformation and balanced to unbalanced transformation. The term balun is a contraction of “balanced to unbalanced transformer” Why do we need a balun? Baluns are important because many types of antennas (dipoles, yagis, loops) are balanced loads, which… Read More: Balun Transformer – Balanced vs Unbalanced Transmission Lines »

What is Corona Effect in Electrical Transmission Lines

what is corona effect in transmission lines

The phenomenon of ionization of surrounding air around the conductor, hissing noise and production of Ozone gas in an overhead transmission line is known as Corona Effect. Corona discharge is a process by which a current flows in a conductor with a high potential into a neutral fluid, usually air, by ionizing that fluid so… Read More: What is Corona Effect in Electrical Transmission Lines »
