Electrical Insulating Material

Growing Demand from Electricals

Electrical Insulation Materials are the materials that don’t allow electricity to pass through them. Electrical insulation materials majorly find their application in generators, electrical rotating machines, transmissions, and transformers, among others.
Electricity passes through transmission cables to various places from power generation sectors. Power generation industries include generators, transformers, and rotating machines. Insulation materials help to pass electricity without disturbance or wastage of energy inside the machines.
Surge protection devices are the components of the electrical installation protection systems that contain insulation materials majorly help from voltage fluctuations. The materials used for surge protection purposes are majorly employed in domestic applications.
The demand for insulation materials has been increasing steadily due to expansion in power generation sectors and the rise in electricity usage in every region around the world. Regions, such as Africa, have been experiencing a significant rise in the demand for electricity in recent years.
According to the International Energy Agency, Africa has been witnessing rapid growth in industrialization and population lately.
The global annual solar power production is estimated to reach 500GW by 2020, from 40.134 GW in 2014, making the solar power market one of the fastest-growing ones with South Africa being in the forefront in terms of power generation capacity growth.

Properties of an Electrical Insulating Material
The insulating material should have the following properties.
The material must have high mechanical strength so that it carries the tension and weight of the conductors.
They must have high dielectric strength.
The material is highly resistive for preventing the flow of leakage current from the conductor to earth.
The material is non-porous and free from impurities.
The electrical and chemical property of the material should not be affected by the temperature.
