Detailed explanation-1: -Some of the commonly used electrical insulating materials are paper, mica, teflon, rubber, plastic, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), glass, ceramic, porcelain etc.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ceramic insulators are widely used in applications where there is high heat. They support heating elements in ovens, heaters, and furnaces. Ceramic’s resistance to abrasion and long life and its ability to hold its shape and size under pressure makes it the perfect insulation material for heated applications.
Detailed explanation-3: -Steatite ceramic components have reasonably high dielectric strength at high temperatures. Furthermore, steatite is a great electrical insulator because it demonstrates fairly high thermal conductivity and resistance to chemical and corrosion attack.
Detailed explanation-4: -Electrical Properties: Ceramics are probably best known as electrical insulators. Some ceramic insulators (such as BaTiO3) can be polarized and used as capacitors. Other ceramics conduct electrons when a threshold energy is reached, and are thus called semiconductors.
