In this study, electrical characterization of ceramic insulation coatings were evaluated by resistive, capacitance, and high voltage breakdown techniques. The insulation coatings were produced on Ag or AgMg sheathed Bi-2212 tapes and Cu-Nb3Sn wires by continuous, reel-to-reel sol-gel process. The coatings were then annealed at several temperatures and times. Dielectric constant and high voltage breakdown values for the insulation coatings were measured by using a capacitive technique and High Voltage Breakdown-AC Dielectric tester, respectively. The electrical properties of the coatings with dopant materials, number of dipping, temperature and time of annealing process are presented.
