Impgnatd Pap Insulation Figu 5.5 - Non-lina sisto athing Th insulation consists mainly of pap tap impgnatd with compound. Th pap must b f fom lignous fibs and fom mtallic o oth conducting spots.

Th pap is mad fom Manila fib o wood pulp. Impgnatd pap can withstand an lctic stss if about 5 to 0 tims that which could b withstood by dy pap insulation. Th dilctic stngth of impgnatd pap is about 00 to 300 k/cm. Initially, thy may b abl to withstand about 400 to 600 k/cm. Th caus of bakdown is usually th non-homognity of th dilctic. Whn a tst voltag is applid, th wakst pat of th dilctic bakdown and dtioation stats gtting mo and mo. This is accntuatd by th fact that th cabl is not caying th sam cunt all th tim.
