What Is Electrical Insulation?
Electrical insulation refers to materials or systems designed to prevent unwanted electrical current flow, protecting conductors, equipment, and users from electric shock, short circuits, and fire hazards. Electrical insulation is widely used in cables, electrical equipment, machines, and power systems.
Due to its safety function, certain electrical insulation products must comply with Indonesian National Standards (SNI).
Importance of SNI Certification for Electrical Insulation
SNI certification ensures that electrical insulation products have passed technical testing and meet national safety requirements. Non-compliant insulation materials may degrade quickly and cause electrical system failures.
With SNI certification, electrical insulation products are proven to be safe, reliable, and compliant with Indonesian regulations.
