1. A corona discharge detection system comprising:
- detection means for detecting corona discharges in an electrical system;
selection means coupled to said detection means for selecting only specified frequency components of any detected corona discharges;
processing means coupled to said selection means for processing said selected frequency components to produce video corona discharge data for each detected corona discharge;
recording means having a first track and a second track.recorder and corona alarm detection condition amplifier means coupled to the output of said processing means;
corona alarm means coupled to said recorder and corona alarm condition amplifier means for producing an alarm indication in response to any video corona discharge data from said recorder and corona alarm condition amplifier means;
a video record amplifier processor for amplifying and processing any video corona discharge data from said recorder and corona alarm condition amplifier means;
means coupled to the output of said video record amplifier processor for recording any video corona discharge data output from said video record amplifier processor on said first track of said recording means;
audio record amplifier means having a first input, a second input and an output;
means to apply voice frequency logging information signals to said first input of said audio record amplifier means;
a marker time base generator coupled to said second input of said audio record amplifier means, said marker time base generator providing geographic data signals indicative of the geographic location of any detected corona discharges; and
means coupled to said output of said audio record amplifier means to record said voice frequency logging information signals and said geographic data signals from said marker and time base generator on said second track of said recording means.

Abstract
A corona discharge detection system is disclosed. The detection system is composed of two basic sub-systems, a detection record system and a detection playback. The detection record system detects a corona discharge, visually displays the discharge on a cathode ray tube and records the corona discharge video data along with voice and geographic data. The playback system processes the recorded information to provide a playback of the recorded data. The playback system includes an audio system that reproduces the stored audio information and a strip chart recorder that reproduces the corona video data and the geographic data to provide a visual record of this data.
