## Notice

The Tony Davies High Voltage Laboratory, part of the University of Southampton, is currently engaged in an Innovation project, ConCEPT, with National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET). A critical part of the project is the ability to record temperatures and other related data from 275kV and 400kV Supergrid Transformers (SGTs).
