Corona

Name:
Corona
Detailed information:
An electrical discharge effect that causes ionization of oxygen and the formation of ozone. It is particularly evident near high-tension wires and in spark-ignited automotive engines. The ozone formed can have a drastic oxidizing effect on wire insulation, cable covers, and hose connections. For this reason, such accessories are made of oxidation-resistant materials such as nylon, neoprene, and other synthetics.
