Question

What is the purpose of insulation on an electric wire?

Answer 1

Answer:-

Insulator:-

Insulator is a non conductive(resistive) material.It ia often called dielectric in radio frequency cables,

purpose:-

It reaists electric leakage,prevents wire's current from coming into contact with other conductor and preserves the material integrity of the wire by protective against environmental threats such as water and heat.The safety and effectiveness of the wire depends on its insulation.

Types of insulation

1. plastic insulator type

• polyvinyl chloride
• semi-regid PVC
• plenium PVC
• polythene (PE)
• polyropylene(PP)
• Polyurethane(PUB)
• Chlorinated Polyethylene (PE)
• Nylon

2. Rubber Insulator Type

• Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR)
• Neoprene(polychloroprene)
• Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
• silicone
• Fiberglass
• Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR)
• Rubber
• Chlorosulfonated Polythylene(CSPE)
• Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer(EPDM)

3 Fluoropolymer Insulator Type

• PFC polytetra fluoro ethylene(PTFE)
• Fluorinated Ethylene propylene (FEP)
• ETFE and ECTFE Halar
• Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF)
• Thermoplastic Elastomer(TPF)

I hope this will helps u✨✨✨

Answer 2

Explanation:

Insulators are used in electrical equipment to support and separate electrical conductors without allowing current through themselves. An insulating material used in bulk to wrap electrical cables or other equipment is called insulation.
