Best Answer

It depends what you mean by a 'high rating'!

If you mean a high 'voltage rating' then, yes, you will require thicker insulation. But if you mean a high 'power rating', then, not necessarily, because the voltage can be low, while the current is high.

Remember, the thickness of insulation depends on the voltage, while the type of insulation (how it withstands higher temperatures) depends on the current.

Is straw a good form of insulation?

Straw (the leftover stems of the wheat or other cereal grain after the grain is harvested) is not a particularly good insulation for a building. The idea of insulation is to create trapped air spaces, preferably lots of them. Since straw does not usually pack very well (except in a baler), it's difficult to force it to create the kind of trapped air that fiberglass batts, for example, will make. It's better than nothing, but not much. It also MUST be treated with a fireproofing chemical.

Why does copper have a low resistance?

Because it is a metal so has lots of free electrons which when connected to a circuit detach from the atoms and move around the circuit. This produces a high current, so resistance will be low as current is high.

What insulates a house?

You insulate your home so that you don't waste energy with heating or cooling. The insulation helps slow down the transfer of energy between the inside of your home and the outside of your home. So, in the summer, the insulation helps keep the outside heat from making it into your house. In the winter, the insulation helps keep the heat inside from your home from making it out of your home.
