Electrical breakdown is a phenomenon where an insulating material becomes conductive due to the application of a sufficiently high voltage, leading to a sudden increase in current. This process can result in permanent damage to the material and is critical in designing electrical systems to ensure safety and reliability.

Insulating materials are substances that reduce the rate of heat transfer, enhancing energy efficiency and thermal comfort in buildings and devices. They work by minimizing conduction, convection, and radiation, often utilizing air pockets or reflective surfaces to achieve their insulating properties.
