Abstract :
A unique test method for screening transformer insulation systems was presented in a paper (1) during the 1962 Electrical Insulation Conference. This test method referred to as "Progressive Temperature Testing" was based on increasing the test temperature in finite steps until the insulation system fails. The test temperatures and times were selected in accordance with the Arrhenius(2) relationship of the logarithm of life and the reciprocal of absolute temperature.
