Electrical Insulating Liquids And Gases Electrical Protective Equipment

These standards on electrical insulating liquids and gases include specifications for materials such as mineral oil and askarels, and tests for assessing the properties of insulating liquids and gases. Also included are specifications and tests on tools, equipment, and materials used to protect workers from electrical hazards.

Annotation Contains papers presented at the March 1999 symposium held in Seattle, Washington, with sections on standards, electrical insulating fluids, electrical tests, and fire issues. Specific topics include fire hazard testing in the International Electrotechnical Commission Standards, specification issues associated with the development of an agriculturally based biodegradable dielectric fluid, electrochemical stability of mineral insulating oils, standardized testing procedures and developments in partial discharge measurement, and comparative tracking index of flame-retardant nylon and PBT.
