GENERAL INFORMATION

The 2009 WORLD CONGRESS ON INSULATORS,
ARRESTERS & BUSHINGS is among the premier events
in the international transmission & distribution industry.

Held once every two years, this joint 3-day Conference
& Exhibition offers an intensive focus on some of the most, important components for overhead lines and
substations as well as the materials used to manufacture
them and the testing equipment & services used to
monitor their condition in the field.

For attendees, the intensive focus on these critical
network components offers such important benefits as:

• 1. Becoming fully-acquainted with the possibilities for,
      new and more cost-effective overhead line and
      substation design based on the latest technologies
      for insulators, arresters & bushings.




• 2. Learning about the most recent advances in
      inspection & maintenance practices for these
      components in order to control costs and reduce
      risks of failure.




• 3. Hearing about the solutions developed by engineers
      at other utilities worldwide to deal with various
      service problems relating to these components.




• 4. Obtaining a full understanding of emerging
      international standards and practices governing the
      specification and testing of these components.
