When Corona Discharge occurs it forms ozone and nitrogen oxides. These combined with moisture to prduce nitric acid, which is destructive to most dielectrics and certain metallic compositions, resulting in corrosion. In addition, the high energy in some discharges results in mechanical, electrical, and thermal damage. SC

Best dielectric material for corona discharge?
Mica sheet
What is the visible discharge of electricity surrounding a charged conductor when its potential exceeds the critical value at which the surrounding air is ionized?
Corona.
Explain the term corona in transmission line.?
At very high voltages, corona becomes an issue, such as in high power transmission. In effect, if there are any "sharp points", square corners, etc., electrons will tend to build up and this build up begins to damage the structure. this is why in very high voltage subs, you will see rings used instead of bolts or hooks (easiest to see at the top of poles).
Why 400kVA and above the transmission line have bundled conductor?
To reduce the electric field intensity at the surface of the conductor which can lead to corona discharge and insulation breakdown. By using bundled conductors, the electric field is distributed between the four (in the case of 400-kV lines) conductors, thus reducing the field intensity per conductor.
Tears in the sun's corona provide an exit for?
solar winds
