Description: 
VEI was founded in 1921 and was formerly known as the State 
Experimental Electrical Engineering Institute. The Institute has created 
special institutes for research and development and design laboratories for 
electrical machines and apparatus, radio engineering, television, acoustics, 
vacuum=-tube technology, illumination engineering, electric motors, wire 
communications, remote control, and automation. 
The Institute has done research and/or development work on the 
following: arc Quenching, automation, cathode-ray oscilloscopes, 
dielectrics, gas dynamics, gas analysis, fluorescent neon and sodium 
lamps, mirror reflector lamps, insulation materials, photoelements, spark 
gaps, switching circuits, synchronous generators, high-voltage technology, 
thermal conductivity, vacuum technology, voltage drop, and voltage dividers. 
More recently the staff of the Institute has worked on high-voltage a-c and 
d-c eQuipment, silicon, mercury, and germanium rectifiers, spark gaps in 
gases, plasma research, new types of insulation materials, and industrial 
electronics. 
K. A. Andrianov, a leading Soviet polymer scientist, has directed 
extensive research at VEI on organosilicon compounds, silicones containing 
inorganic oxides, and high-molecular dielectrics. 
The insulation laboratories have developed some new materials: 
"Viniflex", polyether thermosetting resins, epoxide resins, Micanite, 
nonwoven glass-fiber bands, and varnishes. 
The Institute has an experimental plant, a branch at the 
"Elektroapparat" plant, and a branch laboratory for measurement at the 
"Elektropribor" plant.
