Overview
In electrical engineering manufacturing, one of the most important processes stems from making sure the material used to distribute the electrical current is safe and operating correctly. The precarious nature of electricity makes developing innovative material for advanced safety a high-ranking priority for researchers. Electrical Insulation Breakdown and Its Theory, Process, and Prevention: Emerging Research and Opportunities provides innovative insights into the latest developments and achievements in high voltage insulation breakdown. Featuring topics such as nanodielectrics, thermal stability, and transmission technology, it is designed for engineers, including those that work with high voltage power systems, researchers, practitioners, professionals, and students interested in the upkeep and practice of electric material safety.
