Practical Applications of Insulation Research

By applying the results of insulation research to factory equipment and procedures, manufacturers of oil-impregnated paper-insulated cables for electric power transmission and distribution have been able to effect marked improvements in their products. By following and taking advantage of these improvements as they develop, users of cable have been able not only to obtain more satisfactory operating results, but also to effect substantial savings. Some of the more recent achievements in insulation research and their practical applications are outlined briefly in this paper.
