VOLTAGE PROBLEMS
One of the great problems to solve in high voltage or high pressure transmission has been to keep the power from, leaking from the wires, ■:.. If the wires on a-high-voltage line ..are too small there is a hissing noise similar to steam escaping from a. high-pressure steam-pipe. I here is also a crown or glow of H^ht around the wires, which is called corona Corona is very wasteful'and rcust be prevented. The power will also leave the wires by an arc jumping between lines if they are too close together or around the porcelain insulator chains it they are not properly designed.
