Elektriska material är väsentliga för att underlätta elöverföring och omfattar i första hand ledande och isolerande material.
Ledande material
These are the conductive components of equipment, inklusive kabelkärnor, kabelanslutningar, kontakter, och elektriska anslutningar. Sådana material måste ha utmärkt elektrisk ledningsförmåga och mekanisk styrka.
Insulating Materials
These are used in the electrical insulation parts of devices and cables, forming components like insulating sleeves, cable core insulation layers, and insulating covers. Insulating materials need to demonstrate superior insulation and mechanical strength.
In the context of explosionssäker elektrisk utrustning, it is vital for both conductive and insulating materials to be highly resistant to wear. This is due to the prevalence of corrosive substances, such as acids and alkalis, in their operational environments. Dessutom, insulating materials must have a strong resistance to electrical arcing.
