> Fused silica (glass) is a really good insulator (500 MV/m, vs 150 MV/mm for XLPE plastic)
500 MV/m is 0.5 MV/mm, so it's 300x worse insulator than XLPE plastic per article.
Would be a bummer if we build the worldwide insulated network, only to find out it's not insulated enough ツ)_/¯
I suspect the MV/m should have been MV/mm.
edit: datameta is right. Both units should be MV/m.
I did some cursory snooping and it looks like it could be that both units should be MV/m
I agree.
