INTRODUCTION TO WIRE AND CABLE INSULATING MATERIAL

Cable insulation is a non-conductive This book presents a guide to thematerial, or a material resistant to types of insulations used for electricalelectric current, used to cover the cables conductive core of a cable or a wire.

It protects the cable from physical damage, prevents the conductors from coming in contact with one another, and prevents the cable from the impact of the environment. Insulating materials are also used for the cable jacket, which serves as a protective layer of mechanical protection against physical and environmental hazards like impact, abrasion, moisture, chemicals, and temperature extremes…
