Electrical insulating materials are the basis of electrical equipment. The performance of electrical equipment and devices is largely determined by the properties of their insulating materials. Electrical insulation and dielectrics on http://www.profizolit.com/ include various forms of materials that surround and protect electrical conductors and prevent unwanted current , leakage or crosstalk.
In power systems and electrical devices, insulating materials are capable of operating under extreme conditions, which can include high temperature extremes, intense radiation and strong electric fields. These conditions require high quality insulation materials with excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical properties, as well as resistance to possible environmental influences.
The focus is on advances in insulating materials since the early 20th century, examining their properties in a variety of applications, including breakdown strength, conductivity, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and specific energy consumption in dielectrics.
Insulation materials have been under development for over a century: natural materials for organic polymers, pure polymers and nanocomposites, as a result, the electrical insulation properties have been significantly improved.
Progress with insulating materials determines the future development of energy systems. The new generation of power systems requires new developments in insulation materials in several areas:
- The development of solar, wind, tidal and nuclear energy requires improvements in capacitors to provide a high energy density for storage facilities.
- The construction of ultra-high power transmission lines requires insulation materials to operate under combined voltages, space charge build-up and polarity reversals.
- Spreading demand for the production of sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies means using renewable materials and reducing the negative impact on the environment in the production, application and disposal of insulation materials.
