Abstract :
For original paper by B. Helgee and P. Bjellheim see ibid., vol.26, no.6, p.1147-52 (Dec. 1991). The commenter discusses the influence of partial discharges on the breakdown field strength of the aromatic polymers PI, PEI, PET, PEEK and PES and its role in the findings of B. Helgee and P. Bjellheim. The author´s reply is included.<>
