Corona Noise Reduction
SE05 SUPERHYDROPHILIC OVERHEAD LINE COATING
Superhydrophilic Coating for Overhead Power Lines to Reduce Wet Audible Noise
Wet audible noise, amplified in wet conditions, is a low-frequency issue that increases with higher electric fields, often requiring costly interventions like reconductoring. This noise correlates with the water contact angle of droplets, with moderate hydrophobicity on conventional conductors causing the highest output.
AssetCool offers a world-first solution: SE05, a superhydrophilic, inorganic nanocoating that reduces wet audible noise by 5-10dB, depending on surface gradient. Proven in labs and deployed in the field, SE05 can be applied in factories or on-site as an effective mitigation measure.

Reduce Corona Noise on Existing Conductors
Innovating Today for Tomorrow’s Energy Needs
THE PROBLEM
Overhead power lines are often subjected to various environmental conditions, including rain, fog, and high humidity. When these conditions are present, the lines experience an increase in corona discharge, a phenomenon where ionisation occurs around the conductor due to high voltage.
This ionisation is exacerbated by the water droplets geometry on the lines. Moderately hydrophobic overhead lines (the vast majority of all installed lines) lead to a significant increase in audible corona noise in wet conditions. This noise can disrupt nearby communities and violate regulations. Mitigating this noise is challenging, especially without the need for costly upgrades like reconductoring or voltage uprating.
THE SOLUTION: SE05 SUPERHYDROPHILIC COATING
AssetCool SE05 is an advanced superhydrophilic inorganic nano coating specifically engineered to address the problem of wet audible corona noise on overhead power lines.
SE05 durably transforms the surface properties of the lines, inducing superhydrophilicity, which means water spreads quickly and uniformly across the surface instead of forming droplets which result in large audible noise discharge.
By preventing the formation of these droplets, SE05 significantly reduces wet audible noise corona discharge and the associated noise in wet conditions.
