    The document identifies five classifications of solid materials used in electrical engineering and provides one example and application for each. The classifications are: 1) Ceramic (porcelain for insulation), 2) Metal (copper for electrical wiring), 3) Rubber (silicone rubber for wire insulation), 4) Polymers (PVC for insulation and sheathing), and 5) Composites (epoxy composites for high voltage insulation). Each example describes the material property, such as insulation or conductivity, that makes it suitable for its electrical application.

    CANQUE, LORENZO V. ASSIGNMENT NO.

    2
    BSEE-3 September 15, 2022

    Identify the five classifications of solid material, with one example each, and describe specific applications
    in Electrical Engineering. Use the PowerPoint as your template for this assignment. Then, present your
    output in this manner.

    Classification Specific Solid Applications in Equipment/ Reasons why this


    Material Electrical Devices/Electrical is used (describe
    Engineering Field Component where what material
    this is used property is being
    utilized here)

    Sample Porcelain Insulation Insulator in Insulation - does


    1. Ceramic electrical wirings not conduct
    electricity

    2. Metal Copper Electrical wiring Wires High electrical


    conductivity -
    conducts
    electricity

    3. Rubber Silicone rubber Insulation Wire and cable Insulation - has


    coverings high resistance
    against the flow of
    heat or electricity

    4. Polymers Polyvinyl Insulation, Electrical fittings Insulation and fire


    chloride (PVC) bedding, and resistance - do not
    sheathing conduct electricity
    and have
    inherently higher
    fire resistance
    than other
    polymers

    5. Composites Thermoset Insulation for high Power Insulation - has


    epoxy voltage tap transformers high resistance
    composites chargers against the flow of
    electricity
