The electrical power required by the corona treating process is supplied by a high frequency generator and a high voltage transformer. Ordinary 60 cycle utility power is converted to the higher frequency and higher voltage needed to generate corona efficiently. The corona is then presented to the web by the treater station; i.e., the dielectric covered treater roll / air gap / electrode configuration.
Full-rated generator power can be delivered to the web if the electrical components of the circuit are sized to match the generator power and frequency. Variables are:
1. The effective treat area of the electrode shoe.
2. The dielectric constant of the electrical insulation.
3. The thickness of the electrical insulation.
A number of manufacturers supply good industrial grade, solid-state electrical generators and transformers. Sizes range from 0.5 kilowatts to 30 kilowatts. Operating frequencies range from 8 kilohertz to 50 kilohertz. Efficient corona treating systems are possible with most generators if careful attention is given to the electrical design details of the station and its components.
