High-voltage insulation - safety under extreme loads
In industrial environments, high-voltage insulation systems face the challenge of reliably meeting various requirements at the same time. In addition to electrical insulation, high mechanical loads are often required, while the entire system is also exposed to thermal influences.
In order to withstand these complex influences, insulation materials are needed that are specially designed to meet these requirements and reliably retain their insulating and stabilizing properties even under high voltage, mechanical stress and temperature loads.
Megatron AG offers customized solutions for high-voltage insulation based on high-performance materials from DOTHERM, DOGLAS and DOTEX to make high-voltage technology systems safe, efficient and durable.
