Description / Abstract: Foreword

(This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 1125-1993, IEEE Guide for Moisture Measurement and Control in SF₆ Gas-Insulated Equipment.)

The objectives of this guide are to introduce the importance of moisture in the design, manufacture, installation, operation, and maintenance of transmission class gas-insulated equipment and to provide guidance for measurements of moisture in gas-insulated equipment.
