Scope
- CIIG Members share experiences with contaminated insulation and mitigation methods.
- CIIG Members and EPRI Team to share experiences from leakage current, ESDD and DDIG monitoring.
- Provide education on fundamental and advanced contamination topics.
- Make CIIG Members aware of EPRI and other resources that are available.
- Answer CIIG Members’ technical questions.
- Identify any research areas that need to be addressed.
- Increase awareness of developments of EPRI’s RF Leakage Current Monitoring System
Approach
The intention is to initially hold meetings virtually and inquire if members whether they would like to hold a face-to-face meeting, either at a member site or a EPRI Test Lab.
Members
Staff from international T&D asset owner organizations facing challenges with contaminated insulation are strongly encouraged to attend. Active participation is highly valued and attendees should come prepared to engage and contribute to discussions. Membership is free for T&D asset owners, allowing their employees to join calls and meetings at no cost. Currently, there is no cap on the number of participants per organization, and anyone from a member company can be added to the mailing list.
