# Industrial Specification: Insulation System

## 1. Technical Definition
A critical component that prevents electrical discharge and ensures safe operation by isolating high-voltage components from each other and ground.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **1-35 kV/mm dielectric strength, -40°C to 180°C temperature range**. Failure boundary: **Dielectric breakdown at 35.5 kV/mm electric field strength, thermal degradation above 180°C**, Mechanism: **Electron avalanche breakdown at critical electric field strength (35.5 kV/mm for polymer composites), polymer chain scission above glass transition temperature (180°C)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Governs heating element sizing for shrink tunnels/sealers.
