Conforms to PF CP 202 and has a temperature index of 120°C, CTI 100. Positioned specifically as a high-voltage insulation material at grid frequency, used in transformers and on-load tap changers, offering high disruptive voltage in oil and fair disruptive voltage in air at normal humidity.
The main difference between Etronit I and Etronit II is not in their core electrical ratings but in their intended use and moisture behaviour. Etronit I is positioned specifically for high-voltage insulation at grid frequency in transformers and on-load tap changers, while Etronit II is the more general-purpose grade, used in mechanical and electrical constructions at normal humidity, where it offers somewhat better electrical performance than other variants in the range. Etronit II also has a lower water absorption than Etronit I (110 mg vs. 120 mg) and a marginally higher bending strength (160 MPa vs. 150 MPa).
