Abstract :
High voltage encapsulants are used to protect electrical components from environmental damage and to provide the necessary mechanical strength and the electrical insulation to enable the device to function. This paper discusses both epoxy and urethane encapsulants. First, typical formulations are addressed. Then their properties during the gel stage are discussed. Finally, the encapsulant´s properties in the cured state are discussed
