  2. Insulator (electricity) - Wikipedia

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

    The ridges are used to add surface area, which improves the electrical resistance of the insulator. Three-core copper wire power cable, each core with an individual colour-coded insulating sheath, all contained within an outer protective sheath. An electrical insulator is a material in which electric current does not flow freely. The atoms of ...

  3. 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).

  5. Insulation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation_system

    The electrical insulation system for wires used in generators, electric motors, transformers, and other wire-wound electrical components is divided into different classes by temperature and temperature rise. The electrical insulation system is sometimes referred to as insulation class or thermal classification.

  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. Electrical treeing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_treeing

    Electrical treeing first occurs and propagates when a dry dielectric material is subjected to high and divergent electrical field stress over a long period of time. . Electrical treeing is observed to originate at points where impurities, gas voids, mechanical defects, or conducting projections cause excessive electrical field stress within small regions of the di

  9. Dirac cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_cone

    Typical examples include graphene, topological insulators, bismuth antimony thin films and some other novel nanomaterials, [1] [4] [5] in which the electronic energy and momentum have a linear dispersion relation such that the electronic band structure near the Fermi level takes the shape of an upper conical surface for the electrons and a ...
