Electrical Insulation Research in a Power Utiity - A Program Ror Prorit

This report is to suggest the proper scope and direction of a power utility´s electrical insulation research unit, whereby the utility´s specialized experience may be effectively brought to bear on general improvement of electrical insulation by the industry, and the utility may derive maximum economic and operational benefits from improvements as they become available. To give perspective, the first sections present a brief review of electrical insulation research in present-day science and industry, and of the established means of liaison between those working on the various aspects of it. Some of the principles considered may be applied to power utility research in general.
