Bury? I was thinking just leave it exposed on the surface. Two chonky lines 2-3 meters apart, double use as a railway.
You make a good point about the other uses of insulation, and ISRU, on the moon.
Would ceramics work for transformers?
I see no reason why they wouldn't.
PCB-based transformers exist, and so do ceramic substrate PCBs. If you combine the two, and find a process to weld the ceramic/glass substrate plates together instead of gluing them together, it could work as a transformer.
