Abstract
From overcoming wartime educational challenges to advancing the understanding of high-voltage vacuum insulation, Rod Latham's six-decade career is a story of resilience, scientific curiosity, and groundbreaking discoveries—offering fresh insights that continue to challenge conventional theories on prebreakdown current.
期刊介绍:
The EI Magazine publishes articles written by authors from industry, research institutes and academia. The articles are more practical in content than the papers published in the Transactions. Usually three articles are published in each issue. The articles deal with dielectric materials, processes and new developments applied to industry products. Also the EI Magazine is used to promote upcoming conferences and solicits papers for the conferences. In addition, reports on past conferences are given in many issues. Book reviews and news items are included. An editorial is written by both the EIC and the President of DEIS in alternate issues. Advertising of insulation products appears in many issues.
