  • Abstract
    This paper presents the surge characteristic, in the form of time lag curves, of transmission line and substation insulation. The forms of insulation discussed are: I. Line insulation: suspension type with and without arcing rings, pin type, and wood alone and in combination with porcelain. II. Post type insulators with and without arcing rings. III. Safety gaps with either needle or spherical electrodes. IV. Oil gaps.
