Abstract

Abstract An arc resistant insulator composed of a composite composition comprising an insulating base material and a zinc borate hydrate. The insulating base material is composed of aluminum oxide and/or aluminum hydroxide and mica power. The zinc borate hydrate is composed essentially of 2ZnO.3B 2 O 3 .3H 2 O. The arc resistant insulator is prepared by mixing the insulating base material with a zinc borate hydrate forming material composed of normal boric acid, boric acid anhydride and zinc oxide and heating and compacting the mixture thus obtained in a closed system at a temperature of at least 155° C. under pressure of at least 50 kg/cm 2 .
