  • the invention further relates to several insulation layers provided on and around the conductor.
  • Electrical conductors for electrical machines such as coils for an electromotor or generator, are insulated for avoiding contact between the single windings of the coils, but also for avoiding a short between the coil and other conductive components of the electrical machine, for example the stator of a electromotor.
  • the main wall insulation e.g. mica tape and impregnated resin
  • VPI vacuum pressure impregnation
  • the layers of mica tape are impregnated with thermosetting resins and thermally cured subsequently to obtain the so-called main wall insulation - the final mica-resin composite.
  • thermosetting resins ⁇ 15 kV
  • main wall insulation ⁇ 15 kV
  • insulated Roebel bars are manufactured and impregnated individually (single VPI).
  • mica tape and resin impregnation has not changed for almost one century and is well established to produce main wall insulation on a complex conductor shape and overall size, such as coils or Roebel bars for large electrical machines.
  • To create a finished stator coil and Roebel bar today the widespread application of robotics for coil forming, insulation taping and consolidation have improved the known process.
  • these insulations have poor heat conducting properties for electrical machines.
  • mica tapes known to be used in electrical machine windings have good dielectric strength and partial discharge resistance, but poor heat conductivity properties.
