description The behavior of corona discharge was investigated in wire–cylinder electrodes under the effect of a crossed magnetic field. Townsend’s formula was used commonly with a modified empirical formula to evaluate the different parameters of corona discharge in positive and negative discharge. By using a least-squares fitting, the dimensional constants A, K, and the exponent n displayed a significant dependence on the applied magnetic field. An improvement of pre-breakdown has been achieved by using a crossed magnetic field. For both polarities, while the magnetic field is present, breakdown voltage V<sub>B</sub> and corona inception voltage V<sub>0</sub> increased, whereas the corona current decreases. In addition, the corona inception voltage was greater in positive corona in the absence of a magnetic field, while the opposite occurred regarding the crossed magnetic field. Furthermore, the breakdown streamer demonstrated significant triggering in the negative corona by applying the magnetic field.
