Why Plastics and Composites for the Electrical Industry?
The generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power involves transmitting high voltage electricity over long distances and extreme conditions, which requires materials that possess high dielectric strength, electrically insulative properties, and the ability to operate across extreme temperature ranges without degradation.
Some plastics and composites have this combination of properties which makes them ideal for a wide range of applications as electrical insulators.
These applications include housings, connectors, switchgear insulators, transformer components, and others.
As software and technologies emerge for smart grid technology, plastics and composites have played a significant role as the critical components in the hardware of many of these systems that monitor power transmission and detect problems related to outages or predicting failure and optimizing grid efficiency.
