  2. Insulator (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electricity)

    Insulators used for high-voltage power transmission are made from glass, porcelain or composite polymer materials. Porcelain insulators are made from clay, quartz or alumina and feldspar, and are covered with a smooth glaze to shed water. Insulators made from porcelain rich in alumina are used where high mechanical strength is a criterion.

  3. Magnet wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_wire

    Inductor made with magnet wire wound around a toroidal core. Magnet wire [1] or enameled wire is a copper or aluminium wire coated with a very thin layer of insulation.It is used in the construction of transformers, inductors, motors, generators, speakers, headphones, hard disk head actuators, electromagnets, electric guitar pickups, and other applications that require tight coils of insulated ...

  4. Comparative Tracking Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_Tracking_Index

    The Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) is used to measure the electrical breakdown (tracking) properties of an insulating material. Tracking is an electrical breakdown on the surface of an insulating material wherein an initial exposure to electrical arcing heat carbonizes the material. The carbonized areas are more conductive than the pristine ...

  5. Mott insulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mott_insulator

    Mott insulators are a class of materials that are expected to conduct electricity according to conventional band theories, but turn out to be insulators (particularly at low temperatures). These insulators fail to be correctly described by band theories of solids due to their strong electron –electron interactions, which are not considered in ...

  6. Insulation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation_system

    Basic insulation is any material added to protect a user from accidental contact with energized parts. Supplemental insulation is rated to withstand 1500 volts AC. Double insulation is a design concept where failure of one insulation system will not expose the user to a shock hazard due to the presence of a second independent layer of insulation.

  7. Charge-transfer insulators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge-transfer_insulators

    Charge-transfer insulators are a class of materials predicted to be conductors following conventional band theory, but which are in fact insulators due to a charge-transfer process. Unlike in Mott insulators , where the insulating properties arise from electrons hopping between unit cells, the electrons in charge-transfer insulators move ...
