About This Item
539-1979 is a standards document titled Line Corona and Radio Noise, addressing electromagnetic effects associated with power transmission lines in the Power, Energy and Industry Applications field. It is relevant where line design and operating conditions must be reviewed for corona-related losses and unwanted radio interference. As a superseded English standard, 539-1979 remains useful for understanding the technical approach and historical requirements behind line-noise control and performance expectations.
What is 539-1979?
539-1979 provides a technical framework for considering line corona and the radio noise it can generate on power systems. The subtitle indicates a focus on how energized conductors may produce audible, visible, or electromagnetic effects that affect nearby communication and reception conditions. In practice, this kind of standard is used to define acceptable design or test considerations for transmission-line behavior, helping engineers evaluate whether a line configuration is likely to create excessive noise or other interference.
Where is 539-1979 used?
This standard is most relevant to overhead power transmission and distribution projects where conductor geometry, voltage level, and surface condition can influence corona formation. It may be consulted during line planning, equipment specification, utility engineering reviews, and performance testing for installations near radio-sensitive environments. In the Power, Energy and Industry Applications context, 539-1979 can help support decisions for substations, transmission corridors, and other high-voltage infrastructure where line noise must be controlled.
Why is 539-1979 important?
539-1979 matters because corona and radio noise can affect both system performance and external compatibility. By giving a defined technical reference, it supports more consistent design choices, better procurement comparisons, and clearer test expectations for line equipment and configurations. For utilities and engineers, this helps reduce the risk of interference complaints, unexpected operating issues, and costly redesigns. Using a recognized standard also improves documentation when reviewing compliance or assessing legacy line designs.
