Breakdown of insulators refers to physical damage to the materials used to insulate electrical wires or other electrical equipment. Rubber or plastic can crumble away, it can be abraded, it can crack. No form of insulation is indestructible although some types of insulation are more durable than others. This is particularly a problem if you have wiring on the floor, and people step on it. Just as the soles of your shoes eventually wear away, so will insulation, if you are walking on it. But even without that kind of stress, rubber does tend to become more brittle with age.
ANOTHER ANSWER
'Breakdown' describes the failure of insulation that occurs when the voltage applied across that insulation exceeds its dielectric strength. This results in the failure of that insulation, and the passage of current through it.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if there weren't any insulators in the world?
If there were no insulators in the world, electricity would not be able to be transported effectively as insulators are used to prevent the flow of electric current. This would result in a breakdown of electrical systems, leading to widespread power failures and disruptions in communication networks. In addition, heat insulation, which helps regulate temperatures and conserve energy, would be compromised, resulting in decreased energy efficiency and potential damage to structures and equipment. Overall, the absence of insulators would significantly impact modern infrastructure and technology.

What does it mean by 'What does it mean for a substance to be an insulator (5 points)' I have an assignment where I have to answer some questions and this is one. I really really need help with this!?
Insulators are materials that do not conduct electricity easily. They have high electrical resistance, preventing the flow of electric current. Insulators are used to isolate conductive materials from each other to avoid electrical conduction. Examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic. Insulators are essential for safety in electrical systems to prevent shocks and short circuits.
What do you call poor conductors?
Poor conductors of electricity are often referred to as insulators. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity due to their molecular structure, which makes them unable to conduct electricity efficiently. Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, and glass.
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!

What is the population of NGK Insulators?
NGK Insulators's population is 3,272.
Why are plastic good electricity insulators?
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
