Abstract :
IN THE experiments described in this and in earlier papers, a method has been found whereby it is possible to predict accurately the dielectric loss and other properties of impregnated paper, in terms of simple electrical properties, as measured under continuous potential, of the oil and of the paper separately. Moreover, the methods developed permit the separation of the dielectric loss into 2 components, one due to conduction, and another due to reversible dielectric absorption, thereby throwing much new light upon the nature of the dielectric loss, and upon the relation of its 2 components to the basic properties of the oil and the paper.
