A Proposal for the Evaluation of HTV Silicone Rubber Composite Insulators

This paper describes in detail a step-by-step methodology for obtaining specimens from the housing material (high temperature vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber with aluminum trihydrate (ATH) filler) of composite insulators (finished products), for five well known and commonly used tests. The aim of t...
