Abstract

An electrical conductor provided with an electrical insulation system surrounding the conductor, the insulation includes a first insulation layer surrounding the conductor and a second insulation layer surrounding the first insulation layer. The second insulation layer includes a second polymer and a second filler in the form of chromium oxide (Cr 2 O 3 ), iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ), or a mixture of chromium oxide and iron oxide, wherein the first insulation layer includes a first polymer and a first filler including dispersed nanoparticles.
