Office or Continuing Education
located in Portland, Oregon
offers a short course July 28-30, 1995

Non-ceramic Insulators: Applications, Design,
Testing and Analysis
July 28-30, 1995
at the Marriott Hotel, Portland, Oregon

About the Short Course
A critical and in-depth overview of the application of non-ceramic
insulators in electrical transmission systems and substations will be
presented from both a developer's and user's viewpoint.  Subject areas
covered in the course will include a review of polymer matrix composite
materials and weathershed materials for non-ceramic insulator
technologies.  The most important properties of the materials will be
discussed.  Special emphasis will be placed on the insulator failure modes
which can develop either during manufacturing or in service.  Both
mechanical and electrical failure mechanisms in non-ceramic insulators
will be discussed and recommendations will be given on how to avoid them. 
Unique experimental techniques will be presented concerning the effect of
combined mechanical, electrical and environmental stresses on the
in-service integrity of the insulators.  In addition, the insulator
contamination problems, and field and laboratory test procedures will be
discussed with respect to traditional porcelain and composite insulators. 
This short course should provide a unique forum for the exchange of
experience between the users, manufacturers and researchers involved in
the non-ceramic insulator technology.

Who Will Benefit
This course is designed for utility engineers and personnel working for
insulator manufacturers and research facilities involved in design,
testing and application of non-ceramic insulators.
