Insulation Coordination

Insulation coordination is the process of designing electrical systems so that their insulating materials can safely handle electrical faults and surges without causing damage or failure. It involves selecting appropriate insulation levels and protective devices to ensure reliable operation, even during unexpected high-voltage events like lightning strikes or switching surges. This coordination minimizes the risk of equipment damage, electrical outages, and safety hazards by balancing insulation strength with protective measures across the entire system, ensuring that each component can withstand specific voltage stresses while working harmoniously within the overall electrical network.
