Abstract

A ceramic useful as an electrically insulating material is produced by calcinating wollastonite powder, admixing the calcined powder with phosphoric acid of certain P.sub.2 O.sub.5 concentration range, die-pressing the resulting mixture, and firing the resulting pressed piece. The ceramic is employed within arc circuit breakers as a substitute for asbestos liners, dividers and arc splitters.
