Description Insulators are made from glass, ceramics, plastic, rubber, and other materials. These materials are usually used in applications where they do not come in contact with a live electrical conductor. An example of this is in high-voltage power lines. The insulator is often a light, durable substance used to separate metal conductors of the power line. Glass is also often used in insulators because it is an effective conductor.
