High Voltage Insulation 2025: From Oil Tanks to Nano-Films—The 500 kV Dielectric Revolution

For a century high voltage insulation meant oil-impregnated paper wrapped around a copper conductor—bulky, flammable and SF₆-hungry. In 2025 the same 500 kV line is insulated by a 200 µm nano-film that withstands 600 kV mm⁻¹, is fire-retardant and contains zero greenhouse gases. Gl
