An investigation of the corona performance of several different conductor bundles for 765/800-kV transmission lines was carried out under a program jointly sponsored by Consumers Power Company and The Detroit Edison Company. The results of tests, carried out on single-phase bundles of 3, 4, 5, and 6 conductors are presented in the form of generation quantities of audible noise, radio interference, and corona loss. The influence of bundle asymmetry and conductor surface condition on generation quantities was investigated. A comparison of the expected performance of 3-phase transmission lines using several of the tested bundles is given.
