MODELS FOR EVALUATING THE DURABILITY OF ELECTROINSULATING MATERIALS

This paper presents three models recommended for evaluating the duration in operation - durability - of a type of materials that cannot be repaired, used in the maintenance activity of energetic installations. That is the case for a lot of electro insulating products that have been tested and found to fit the quality requirements, before they were put in operation. Based on the information obtained during tests, the average operation time of the materials in question can be determined.
