Abstract

A Review of the Effect of Insulance Management on the Fitness-for-service of Generators, Transformers, Motors and Switch Gears is reported. Methods, standards, specifications for assessment of the insulance have been reviewed. Factors impacting on the insulance value have also been noted. And it is considered worthwhile for the proper management of the insulance of electrical assets as this automatically translate to high integrity of fitness-for-service.
