Dielectric properties of cellulose paper — I

Studies of the dielectric properties of pure cellulose paper as used for high voltage insulation are reported in this paper. The studies reported in Part I, presented herewith, include investigation of the dielectric loss, phase difference, and capacitance of paper insulated specimens as related to the moisture content of the paper. In Part II, which is scheduled for publication in a subsequent issue, these studies are extended to the variations in dielectric properties as related to temperature when the paper is extremely dry.
