tions or due to overvoltages exceeding the strength of the insulation. Considering the
working environment around electrical equipment (e.g., humidity, high temperature,
and vibrations) it is important in selecting the right insulation type.
The heat generation rate and the mechanical force in conductors, both being
square functions of the current, are the highest at the rst subtra ...
