Abstract
Organic polymers are widely used as insulation and sheath materials for electric wires and cables. Materials like polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene propylene diene rubber, and inorganic silicone rubber are commonly used for low-voltage cables. In low-voltage cables, mechanical properties are often prioritized over electrical insulation properties, influencing the choice of materials used. For instance, the volume resistivity of silicone rubber at room temperature is not so high, being in the order of TΩ·m [1].
期刊介绍:
The EI Magazine publishes articles written by authors from industry, research institutes and academia. The articles are more practical in content than the papers published in the Transactions. Usually three articles are published in each issue. The articles deal with dielectric materials, processes and new developments applied to industry products. Also the EI Magazine is used to promote upcoming conferences and solicits papers for the conferences. In addition, reports on past conferences are given in many issues. Book reviews and news items are included. An editorial is written by both the EIC and the President of DEIS in alternate issues. Advertising of insulation products appears in many issues.
