A New Impulse Generator for Three Million Volts

Abstract

OF recent years considerable attention has been focused on the behaviour of insulation under electrical stresses of very short duration. The importance of these studies need not be emphasised; suffice it to say that investigations in conjunction with the cathode ray oscillograph on all forms of insulating material at fairly low voltages and on all forms of assembled electrical high-tension apparatus at high voltages have still to be made, as the information at present available is of the most meagre nature.
