New Trend of Technologies in Dielectric and Insulating Materials

—Topics from the Symposium—

Abstract

This is a review of the “40th Symposium on Electrical and Electronic Insulating Materials and Applications in Systems”, in order to overview the research trend in this specific field. Nano-composite materials, insulation systems under inverter surges, space charge assessment, asset management regarding to insulation performance, outdoor insulations, thin dielectric films and other topics are dealt with. In addition, our effort to promote the research activity is described. The proceedings booklet in Japanese, with English abstract and figure captions for each presentation, will be available at the IEEJ office.
