  • Abstract
    A SUMMARY of data from extensive impulse and 60-cycle laboratory flashover tests upon suspension insulator strings relative to unit shell diameter and unit spacing is given in this paper. The insulating qualities and the economic advantages of the various sizes of units are discussed with due regard to the most recent lightning protection theories. Consideration is given to insulation for high voltage transmission lines of both the steel tower and wood pole types.
