Behavior of transformer insulation under short-time overvoltage
This paper reports on a series of tests made on transformer insulation samples with automatically applied short-time a.c. overvoltages above the corona inception level to determine the conditions under which damaging corona occurs. Modified dielectric tests for power transformers are discussed.
The Effect of Test and Abnormal System Voltages on Transformer Insulation
In service, a transformer will be subjected throughout its life to three different types of voltages. These are: power frequency, switching surge, and impulse voltages. Recent computer studies and field investigations of EHV systems have provided data on the magnitudes and durations of these voltages. Laboratory tests and factory tests of transformer insulator structures have provided new data on performance. Impulse test levels have been defined for many years. Modern lightning arresters can be selected to provide adequate protection against switching surges.
Women's health in prison: urgent need for improvement in gender equity and social justice.
The needs of women held in detention have received little attention and con-tinue to be neglected by health systems and prison authorities. One reason for this, too readily accepted until now, is that women prisoners are a clear minor-ity group within prisons all over the world. It is only recently that attention has been drawn to the fact that a minor-ity status does not justify the widespread ignorance of women’s basic rights and the considerable gender insensitivity still dominating criminal justice systems.In Europe alone, there are about 100 000 women and girls in prison.
