Among the various diagnostic methods used to assess transformer condition, capacitance and Tan Delta testing has gained broad ...

Electrical insulation begins to age and thus deteriorate as soon as it is made. Exposure to harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, mechanical damage, and chemical vapors, ...

Insulation failure is the root cause of many electrical conductors and equipment failures. When insulation fails, not only can equipment be damaged, but fire and shock can also result. Ideally, when ...

A new method based on temperature differentials has improved detection of damaged insulation in subsea pipelines carrying high-viscosity crude oil. High-viscosity crude travels in subsea pipelines at ...
