Some of its fundamental characteristics include:

Dielectric strength of high intensity. This is the most crucial property of an insulating kraft, which allows it to have a high voltage without breaking down.

Good mechanical strength: Good mechanical strength to ensure its integrity in various electrical applications

Moisture resistance: it is treated to resist moisture, thus guaranteeing the degradation of its insulating properties.

Thermal stability: Insulating kraft has high temperatures without losing its insulating properties.

Chemical resistance: It mostly is resistant to most chemicals thus staying durable in most environments.

Dimensional stability: The shape as well as the dimensions of the insulating kraft are held constant over time with no warping or deformation.

Flexibility: Easy to cut and shape according to the application.

Lightweight: Relatively lighter compared to other types of materials, hence light in the description of easy-to-handle and transport.

Insulating kraft paper is that paper which has been produced specifically to offer electrical insulation. It has a high dielectric strength, meaning it will be in a position to withstand breakage caused by high voltages. For this reason, insulating kraft is applied in various uses, such as the following:

Transformers: In transformers, insulating kraft will be used for the insulation of the winding of transformers to prevent electrical shorts and ensuring effective operation.

Capacitors: In capacitors, the insulating kraft serves as a dielectric between the capacitor plates. The electrical energy is stored in capacitors.

Motors: The primary application of insulating kraft is to insulate motor windings to prevent electrical leakage and ensure smooth working.

Generators: To insulate the generator windings, insulating kraft can be utilized. These prevent electrical shorts and assist in effectively generation of power.

Switchgear: Insulation kraft used in switchgear is applied in several components of switchgear. First and foremost, kraft is applied to provide electrical insulation and also avoid arcing of the switches. It is applied where there are bushings and also barriers.

Electrical cables: In electrical cables, insulating kraft works as a filler. Filler material helps to give insulation support to conductors.
