  2. Insulator (electricity) - Wikipedia

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

    Suspension insulator - For voltages greater than 33 kV, it is a usual practice to use suspension type insulators, consisting of a number of glass or porcelain discs connected in series by metal links in the form of a string. The conductor is suspended at the bottom end of this string while the top end is secured to the cross-arm of the tower.

  3. Isolated-phase bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

    Segments of the bus are temporarily supported by scaffolding. The interior aluminum conductors are temporarily braced for installation. The inner conductors and outer enclosure will be welded to form a unit. Inside the enclosure, the inner conductor is supported by polymer insulators; a small hatch for access to the insulator is visible.

  5. Dielectric gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_gas

    Its main purpose is to prevent or rapidly quench electric discharges. Dielectric gases are used as electrical insulators in high voltage applications, e.g. transformers, circuit breakers (namely sulfur hexafluoride circuit breakers), switchgear (namely high voltage switchgear), radar waveguides, etc.

  6. Topological insulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_insulator

    A topological insulator is an insulator for the same reason a "trivial" (ordinary) insulator is: there exists an energy gap between the valence and conduction bands of the material. But in a topological insulator, these bands are, in an informal sense, "twisted", relative to a trivial insulator. [4]

  7. Liquid dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_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, high voltage cables, and switchgear (namely high voltage switchgear).
