PEG® Insulating Panel
A phenolic laminate engineered specifically for electric insulating panel applications.
Electric Insulating Panels for Substations and More
Applications like substation equipment panels, switchgear enclosures, and control cabinets require mounting surfaces that can withstand demanding electrical and environmental conditions over decades of service. These boards must support heavy components while maintaining reliable electrical insulation under continuous voltage, mechanical loading, and changing environmental conditions. High dielectric strength, moisture resistance, low cold flow under sustained loads, and excellent dimensional stability are all essential for long-term performance.
Unlike wood or metal mounting surfaces, thermoset insulating boards provide both structural support and electrical insulation in a single material. They resist moisture absorption, maintain their shape over time, and help reduce the risk of electrical tracking or insulation failure in critical power distribution equipment. As a result, they are widely used for mounting terminal blocks, relays, busbar supports, disconnect switches, and other electrical components found throughout substations and switchgear assemblies.
Piedmont Plastics supplies materials for electric insulating panels that are engineered for demanding applications. Available in a range of sizes and thicknesses, these materials provide the electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and dimensional stability required for switchgear, transformer control cabinets, and other power distribution equipment.
