Abstract
Electrical properties of some laboratory-prepared ceramic
insulants have been determined, utilizing some Jammu
clays, both in their washed and unwashed state. Also, the
corresponding changes in physical properties like density
and porosity are measured as a function of soaking period.
The electrical properties of insulants appear to be
strongly dependent on the chemical and mineralogical
composition of clays used, as well as the soaking periods
employed. While the presence of titania increases the
conductivity more strongly than iron oxide, it decreases
the dielectric strength. The electrical response of insulants
is fairly compatible with their porosity and densification
data.
