Hi Jim, 1. To the best of my knowledge, you would have great difficulties convincing ALL the agencies that any form of varnish impregnation reliably complies with Clause 2.9.7. This is not to say that the concept is invalid; it's just that many agencies are not convinced ... 2. On the other

Thanks all for the replies. The one point of contention seems to be in what ways varnish impregnation is helpful. I think there are three aspects to this question: 1. Varnish as electrical insulation: Rich gives good reasons why varnish is not suitable as electrical insulation for safety

Jim Eichner asks several questions about transformer insulations. 1. Is a ferrite core considered conductive since it measures several thousands of ohms? Consider that: Conductors are never zero ohms, but approach zero. Insulators are never infinite ohms, but
