This article presents experimental characterisation of PI (polyimide, Kapton-FN) and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), two polymers used as insulators in aeronautic cables. Current measurements are performed for different electric fields and temperatures, and the current behaviour is analysed with the help of a conductivity law. We then discuss the conductivity law and its optimized parameters.
