Abstract :
IMPULSE testing of insulation and the precautions necessary to produce impulse voltages of the desired wave shape are treated in this paper. Such testing involves the construction of circuits of the proper electrical constants, the accurate measurement of these constants, the calculation of electrical variations in the circuit, and the checking of these calculations by indicating and recording instruments.
