Competences

Excellent technical achievements for more comfort and safety.

Without an insulating coating electricity would flow between the wires and not down the path of the wire. The result: leakage current or short circuits.

Increasing leakage current can possibly cause considerable generation of heat and thus lead to functional impairment or to the complete breakdown of a technical device due to overheating. In extreme cases, faulty insulation coupled with moisture can even pose a serious safety problem. Electrically insulated wires are used in electric motors and transformers, where they meet high heat and chemicals-resistance requirements and have to withstand mechanical and electrical burdens.

Whether a computer or a television set, an espresso or drilling machine, windshield wipers or window lifters – our world is full of technology that makes many aspects of everyday life easier.

Every electrical device contains a number of components such as electric motors and transformers which we don’t even notice because they function reliably. A low breakdown rate of a device reflects its high quality and means that the insulation problem has been solved well. The products made by ELANTAS Electrical Insulation – wire enamels, impregnating resins, and compounds – contribute to the safety, reliability, and long life of such devices.
