Abstract :
Swedish research on the use of composite insulators in outdoor insulation focuses on investigations in natural and artificial conditions, new diagnostic test methods, and the effects of ageing and hydrophobicity variations. Basic flashover phenomena on hydrophobic surfaces also are being studied.<>
