Insulating Fluids Subcommittee Scope

• Study and review the engineering aspects of electrical insulating fluid properties for use in transformers and other electrical apparatus. Consider matters pertaining to acceptance, maintenance and handling of such fluids. Determine the effect of various treatments, aging in service, gas evolution and other phenomena on the fluids' properties and determine the criteria for serviceability of the equipment.

• Develop and maintain related standards, recommended practices and guides for such criteria.

• Coordinate with other technical committees, groups, societies and associations as required.
