Abstract :
High voltage DC equipment benefits from the use of composite materials in a number of forms, one of which is in the form of electrical insulating structural members. The author concentrates on how composite materials have been exploited in the HVDC convertor valves to ensure that the function of this equipment is maintained over its working life
