Abstract

An electrode arrangement for creation of corona over an area, and for treating electrically-conductive surfaces which might otherwise experience arcing from the electrode arrangement to the surface. The arrangement includes an electrode, and an electrically insulative shroud for the electrode. A source of nitrogen gas is provided for creating a non-arcing atmosphere. The electrode is stationary or rotatable with the shroud.
