Common Types of Insulators Used in Power Transmission Lines
An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow freely. This is due to the insulator’s electrons being more tightly bonded and unable to move freely. Paper, plastic, rubber, glass, and air are all common insulators. Semiconductors and conductors are non-insulator materials, meaning they can easily conduct electric currents. Insulators have higher…
