Technology advances have allowed and made easier the miniaturization of the shape and size of electronic components to operate low power ranges. On the one hand, the trend of creating complex electronic systems with a ...

Installed surge arresters are subjected to different types of overvoltages, and the varistors, which are their active element, must be able to not only absorb the energy from these overvoltages, but also present degradation ...

Silicone rubber (SIR) is used in the manufacture of insulators for transmitting electrical energy. The addition of some additives can efficiently improve the resistance to thermal degradation of SIR. In this work, an ...
