The paper discusses the problems which confront the electrical engineer working under tropical conditions. It deals with the difficulties promoted by the scarcity of skilled labour, the effect of high temperature, strong sunlight and high humidity on materials and equipment, and the special problems introduced by the prevalence of salt-laden atmosphere, dust and animal pests. It cites typical examples of troubles encountered, and suggests methods of design and engineering practice to overcome them or minimize their effect.
