Abstract :
Tests were made to determine to what extent gross mistreatment of sealed dry-type transformers with Class H insulation might involve fire or explosion hazards. Tests on sealed transformers containing no organic material other than a small quantity of semiorganic silicone varnish indicated they may be operated with almost no danger of fire or explosion.
