That virus

I was thinking ( did you hear the gears grinding?)that of all the people who mite be unfortunate to get the virus  then  High voltage maintenance engineers should be less prone then most after all they are experts at preventing corona!! Ok sorry il go and lie down now

  • well it will surely work if the pink blue tak is similarly a mediocre conductor.

    Actually for a given geometry, negative corona sets in at a noticeably lower voltage gradient - electrons are easier to pull off a metal than out of the air. (or if you like electrons are runnier than holes...)

    With that in mind, we normally do DC test structures at negative voltages, if it holds up, it will normally also  pass the positive case with no effort.
