Abstract :
THE present war emergency has crystallized the need for additional information concerning the maximum load capability of modern-design transformers and voltage regulators in order that these apparatus may be utilized to a greater extent for meeting present and new load requirements with a minimum amount of new equipment, thus conserving critical war materials. It will be noted that the papers1–3 presented at the AIEE convextion June 24, 1942 give somewhat divergent views on permissible overloads and on the effect of temperature on transformer insulation.
