Abstract :
Available information on spark-over of large gap spacings extends to about 100 inches for rod gap and insulator strings. With the extension of system voltages it appears desirable to extend this range. Results of tests with 60-cycle and impulse voltages are described for rod gaps, insulator strings, and sphere gaps.
