Abstract :
This paper summarizes the result of the questionnaire on current status of non-ceramic (composite) insulators in the world conducted by the Non-ceramic (composite) Insulators Technical Committee, Japan. Current use status, reasons for use, maintenance, failure occurrence and research activity of 16 responding utilities are described. About 80% of the responding utilities answered that they would actively increase the use of non-ceramic (composite) insulators in the future. It is anticipated that the market for these insulators will keep expanding
