The assumption is grounded in the property that the asymptotic distribution of the maximum of n independent, identically distributed random variables is the double exponential when the underlying distribution has an upper exponential tail. It is also sometimes called the double exponential distribution, because it can be thought of as two exponential distributions with an additional location parameter spliced together backtoback, although the term is also sometimes used to refer to the. For design purposes it is sufficient to limit the knowledge of the insulation characteristics to a few families of stresses which are a function of time vt e.
