Transformer board for electrical insulation
The transformerboard is used for:
- Isolate the high-voltage components
- to structure electrical systems
- maintain isolation distances
It is essential in electrical transformers.
Transformer board versus other insulating papers
The transformer board is distinguished by its rigidity:
- transformerboard
- cellulose → flexible
- aramide → high thermal performance
- kraft → simple solution
The choice depends on the mechanical and electrical constraints.
Transformerboard (pressboard)
