Ionisation potential applied across the electrodes of electrostatic tar precipitator is around_____________________?

Correct answer: D. 60 KV DC

  • A. 230 V AC
  • B. 60 KV AC
  • C. 230 V DC
  • D. 60 KV DC

Explanation

Electrostatic precipitators use a high-voltage direct-current field to create corona ionisation and charge tar or dust particles. The operating potential is commonly of the order of 60 kV DC, not ordinary AC or low-voltage supply.
