Best Answer

Voltage stress on an insulator refers to the amount of electrical stress or pressure that the insulator is subjected to due to the voltage applied across it. Excessive voltage stress can lead to insulation breakdown, resulting in electrical failures or arcing. Proper design and selection of insulators are important to ensure that they can withstand the voltage stress levels they are exposed to.

If voltage is not equal to current then are insulator rated in voltage or current?

Insulators are always rated for voltage. Voltage, or potential difference, is the energy that is available to make the electrons jump from the conductor, through the insulator, to the next available conductor. Current is the electron flow through the wire.A great example of why current is not an issue in insulation issues is that you could have 1000 amps (the measurement of current) going through a wire at 1 volt and have no problem with almost any insulator. You would need a very good insulator for less then a amp of current though if the voltage was 100,000 volts.


Break down voltage?

The breakdown voltage of an insulator is the minimum voltage that makes it partially conductive electrically. On the other hand, the breakdown voltage in a diode refers to the minimum reverse voltage to cause it to conduct in reverse.


Define methods of stress control in high voltage cables?

A method of stress control is controlling the distribution of dielectric stress. Uniform distribution of dielectric stress may be achieved in high voltage cables by surrounding the high stress areas of the high voltage cable with a tube of high permittivity material that makes contact at one end with a ground electrode contacting the shield of the high voltage cable.
