Abstract :
Subcommittee to Standardize Wet Testing For a number of years there has been dissatisfaction in the industry in regard to wet testing of equipment because such standards as existed have not been conducive to consistent and comparative measurements. At one of the early meetings of the laboratory subcommittee of the joint committee on insulation co-ordination, the suggestion was adopted: “that a common mode of procedure for the making of wet flashover tests be outlined to insure that the data obtained may be as nearly as possible on the same basis.”
