NEW INSULATING MATERIALS FOR OVERHEAD CONTACT SYSTEMS

The report is concerned with testing of synthetic materials which may be used as insulators for overhead contact systems of electrical railways. The use of such materials is especially of interest for rough environments such as tunnels, mixed traction systems and coastal areas. The duplication of these conditions is described for laboratory testing.
