Dielectric properties<\/strong><\/h3><p>Insulating materials must of course have dielectric properties enabling equipment to be effectively protected. However, in some cases, it is essential that the chosen electrical insulation be able to withstand high temperatures. The best performance in dielectric terms will therefore not necessarily be sought and compromises will have to be found, in particular in terms of mechanical strength. Learn more about the deterioration of the dielectric properties of insulators.<\/p><h3><strong>2. The temperature of use<\/strong><\/h3><p>The choice of insulation is closely linked to the thermal conditions that it will undergo during its life. Indeed, an insulator can on the one hand degrade under the effect of heat and on the other hand its dielectric strength varies with temperature. Care must therefore be taken to respect the thermal class of the equipment when choosing the insulation.<\/p><h3><strong>3. The economic criterion<\/strong><\/h3><p>The economic aspect is an important criterion to take into account when choosing an insulator because the differences in terms of costs can be great between two materials. The cost of a high-performance insulator can help the reliability of the isolated equipment and can thus make it possible to achieve significant gains on other stations making up the system.<\/p><h3><strong>4. Choose recognised materials<\/strong><\/h3><p>It should be kept in mind that <strong>not all materials are created equal<\/strong> even if their chemical composition is a priori identical. For example, if all polyimides are more or less resistant to heat, the Kapton\u00ae brand remains a reference and a guarantee of quality because the manufacturer is engaged in a certification process guaranteeing consistently equal performance.<\/p><p>Discover the different types of electrical insulators.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4603eb2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4603eb2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9239d5c\" data-id=\"9239d5c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-095ecdb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"095ecdb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What electrical insulators can withstand heat?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d7057e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d7057e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span>4 types of electrical insulators offer interesting heat resistance capacities:<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong><span>1. Polyesters<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p><span>The polyesters alone will be able to accept operating up to temperatures of 160\u00b0C or even more depending on the duration of exposure. The standards announce 130\u00b0C for the IEC and 105\u00b0C for the UL. For example, PET polyester performs well up to 105\u00b0C and PEN can still be used at 160\u00b0C.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong><span>2. Polyethylene<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p><span>Polyethylene is a good insulator but it cannot be used above 60\u00b0C\/RTI UL continuous, or 130\u00b0C\/IEC.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong><span>3. Polyimide<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p><span>Polyimide is the most efficient polymer when looking for good electrical insulation at high temperature because it is able to withstand more than 400\u00b0C for several hours. The most well-known brand of polyimide is Kapton, available in the form of adhesives or film rolls.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong><span>4. Rigid or flexible materials<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p><span>To improve thermal performance, it is also possible to combine the advantages of several materials. Thus, the Nokamex Duplex is made up of an assembly of two materials:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span>A Kapton polyimide film, for temperature resistance and insulation;<\/span><\/li><li><span>A Nomex aramid paper for mechanical strength;<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span>The material obtained is thus an excellent insulator, usable at high temperature and with high mechanical resistance.<\/span><\/p><p><span>The ability of an electrical insulator to resist heat depends on several factors such as the chemistry of the material. Polyimides thus have a temperature resistance of up to 400\u00b0C at thermal peak, whereas polyethylene cannot withstand high heat. Moreover, the combinations of materials are endless.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-03423dc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"03423dc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3f1ef5a\" data-id=\"3f1ef5a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02404e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"02404e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d83485c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d83485c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span>To choose the right electrical insulator, you must know the thermal class of the equipment to be protected.
