Electrical Insulation

Electrical Insulation

Overview

Aluminium reduction is an electrolytic process that requires a large DC electrical current to be transmitted through the various structures and equipment that compile a potroom. Hence, components of negative and positive voltage potentials must be isolated electrically to prevent short circuits and to allow the series-connected cells in the potroom to function.

Pyrotek Offerings

Pyrotek offers electrical insulation products specifically manufactured to meet the arduous conditions encountered in aluminium smelter potrooms and other applications. Resins and reinforcements are used to create a wide range of laminated and random fibre/resin composites. Electrical insulation laminates and composites comply with the required or applicable international standards (NEMA, DIN, BS EN).
