Abstract :
The leakage current and material performance of various naturally aged nonceramic distribution class insulators, referenced to glass cap and pin insulators, are presented and discussed. The insulators were energised under a severe marine environment for a period of six months, on a 22 kV insulator test rig situated at Koeberg insulator pollution test station in South Africa
