Electrically insulating
GRP is electrically insulating and non-conductive. The required insulation values must be checked for the specific component design and application.
GRP in electrical engineering
Whether in transformer manufacturing, in electric motors or as structural components in the power infrastructure, GRP profiles combine electrical insulation with low weight and corrosion-resistant material properties. The most suitable design depends on the requirements of the specific application.
Product ranges
GRP products for electrical engineering
From standard profiles to specialised insulation profiles for transformers, electric motors and electrical installations.
GRP profiles
Standard profiles for structures in electrical installations where insulating material properties are required.
GRP dogbones
Dogbones and corner profiles used as insulation profiles in transformer and electric motor manufacturing.
GRP insulating rods
Insulating rods for structural applications in electrical installations, including high-voltage applications.
Material properties
Advantages of GRP in electrical installations
The combination of electrical insulation and other material properties opens up a range of potential applications in electrical engineering.
Antimagnetic
GRP is not magnetisable and does not interact with magnetic fields in the same way as metallic materials. This can be an advantage when used near sensitive electrical equipment.
Weather- and corrosion-resistant
GRP is corrosion-resistant and suitable for applications exposed to the elements. The resin system and component design must be tailored to the actual environmental conditions.
Easy to edit
GRP profiles can be sawn, drilled and cut to size using suitable tools. The choice of tools, tolerances and health and safety requirements must be taken into account.

Frequently asked questions about GRP in electrical engineering
Answers regarding insulation, design and suitable operating conditions.
Why is GRP suitable for applications in electrical engineering?
GRP is electrically insulating and non-conductive. This makes it suitable, amongst other things, for components in transformers, electric motors and the power infrastructure. The required insulation values must be checked for the specific design.
Where are GRP profiles used in electrical engineering?
Standard profiles are used for structural applications, as well as specially designed insulation profiles, for example in transformer and electric motor manufacturing and in the power infrastructure sector.
What are dogbones and corner profiles used for?
Dogbones and corner profiles are used as insulation and structural components in the manufacture of transformers and electric motors. Their geometry and design depend on the specific application.
What needs to be taken into account when using high-voltage systems?
Mechanical loads, insulation values, creepage and clearances, temperature, environmental conditions and applicable standards must be taken into account. The design is project-specific.
Can GRP profiles be machined after manufacture?
GRP profiles can be sawn, drilled and cut to size using suitable tools. The choice of tools, tolerances and health and safety measures must be adapted to the material.
