dielectric and electrical insulation
1Electrical breakdown — in an electric discharge showing the ribbon like plasma filaments from a Tesla coil. The term electrical breakdown or electric breakdown has several similar but distinctly different meanings. For example, the term can apply to the failure of an… …
2Electrical treeing — Within the field of electrical engineering, treeing is an electrical pre breakdown phenomenon. It is a damaging process due to partial discharges and progresses through the stressed dielectric insulation, whose path resembles the form of a tree.… …
3Dielectric strength — In physics, the term dielectric strength has the following meanings: Of an insulating material, the maximum electric field strength that it can withstand intrinsically without breaking down, i.e., without experiencing failure of its insulating… …

5Dielectric gas — A dielectric gas, or insulating gas, is a dielectric material in gaseous state. Its main purpose is to prevent or rapidly quench electric discharges. Dielectric gases are used as electrical insulators in high voltage applications, e.g.… …
6dielectric strength — noun : the maximum intensity of electric field that a given dielectric can sustain without disruptive discharge, usually expressed in kilovolts per millimeter * * * Elect. the maximum voltage that can be applied to a given material without… …
7Insulator (electrical) — Ceramic insulator at railways Conducting copper wire insulate …
8Copper wire and cable — Copper has been used in electric wiring since the invention of the electromagnet and the telegraph in the 1820s.[1][2] The invention of the telephone in 1876 proved to be another early boon for copper wire.[3] Today, despite competition from… …
9Liquid dielectric — A liquid dielectric is a dielectric material in liquid state. Its main purpose is to prevent or rapidly quench electric discharges. Dielectric liquids are used as electrical insulators in high voltage applications, e.g. transformers, capacitors,… …
10Ferroelectret — Ferroelectrets are thin films of polymer foams, exhibiting piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties after electric charging. Ferroelectret foams usually consist of a cellular polymer structure filled with air. Polymer air composites are… …
