Abstract

The ASTM book series on Engineering Dielectrics is devoted to a comprehensive presentation of topics related to electrical insulating materials, concerning their dielectric properties, their use, and evaluation for application in electrical power and communication apparatus structures and devices. It has been deemed proper that the first volume of the series should deal with corona or partial discharge measurements, since the subject matter is of great interest to electrical insulation engineers and scientists. At the same time, it was felt that a monograph on corona discharges would fill in a gap in the scientific literature, which has now been long overdue.
