Summary

With the introduction of composite insulators, outdoor test stations got another important meaning for the preselection of insulator types. The combination of the many variable environmental parameters which can influence an insulator's behaviour over its lifetime are difficult to artificially simulate and, moreover, to accelerate, and the validity of laboratory tests is thus often questioned. The TB serves as a general for the establishement of natural test stations.
