content: What type of equipment? What application?"Insulation" could mean anything from small air gap, or a piece of electrical tape, to a stack of ceramic insulators a metre high.

content: Similarly, "measurement equipment" is anything from a plastic ruler to the Large Hadron Collider.Err on the side of providing more information, not less.

content: Your question is impossible to answer as it could involve dozens of different designs, materials, techniques, etc, depending on the specific case. If you really want an answer to your original question, then consider enrolling in a university for a course of study in electrical engineering. But if you have something specific in mind, I am sure a good discussion would ensue.For that matter, you can do a Google search on "insulation" just in the EEVblog website and find several thousand hits. And there are several of Dave's videos that have good discussions of insulation with practical examples in teardowns and reviews, etc.

content: Well asking basics gives you different answers if we are talking about insulating your hobby low voltage microcontroller circuit or particle accelerator.thats why people would like you to clarify what soft of things are you doing?

content: Is there something wrong with the polls in the blog, 2nd poll that the choices show as just a dot for each choice.Edit: 2nd poll with the same problem here:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/calibrate/Sorry for derailing the topic.

content: I suspect that @mido didn't realize he was creating a poll. He can't even post a meaningful question.
