Detection of tracking carbon path using visual and thermal images (Discussion, with reply by M. Nishida et al.)

Abstract

The discussers separately address questions raised in the above-titled paper by M. Nishida et al. (ibid., vol.27, p.1050-1053, 1982) concerning tracking test procedures. The three discussers agree that there is a need to revise IEC 587. Nishida replies that the above paper did not intend to evaluate the tracking resistance of the electrical insulating materials, or to offer any information for a revision of IEC 587. >
