Insulating Materials Used in Electrical Devices | Electricity

Almost all electrical devices depend on insulating materials in one way or the other. Most of the failures in such devices may be due to the failure of an insulating part. In general, an insulating material should have good mechanical and electrical strength, and good thermal and chemical stability. In this article the insulating materials used in power and distribution [...]
