TEACHING TOPICS: Teaching the Basic Principles of Impulse‐Voltage Testing

THERE ARE probably few technical colleges where space and finance will permit the installation of large impulse generator equipment such as that described by Mr Briggs in the January 1960 issue of this journal. Yet transient theory and impulse voltage technique have to be taught; and while the former can be, and has been, done without the aid of demonstration apparatus, the latter, which is also of great importance to the electrical engineer, must definitely have recourse to such apparatus.
