METHOD OF APPLYING INSULATING COATING Filed Dec. 4, 1957 mm M 45/1 4/1 4/94/1/ United? States Patent 6 METHOD OF APPLYING INSULATING COATING Andrew A. Halacsy, 383 Windsor Ave., Hatboro, Pa.
Filed Dec. 4, 1957, Ser. No. 700,716 5 Claims. (Cl. 117-232) This invention relates generally to the application of insulating coatings of uniform dielectric character :to electrical equipment, and more particularly, to a method in which adjoiningcoated areas are seamed without .discontinuity in dielectric characteristics by laying down overlapping layers of two different components of plastic coating at a boundary zone between the two areas and kneading the two components toproduce a seamed layer which matches the color and thickness of the adjacent coatings.
This application is a continuation-in-part of application Serial No. 541,310, filed October 19, I956, randnow abandoned.
In the construction of dry type transformers, it .is essential that the insulation of the coils'from each other and from the transformer core be as nearly perfect as .possible. The transformer must berated at a maximum Voltage which corresponds to the weakest point in the insulation. The most common and oldest process for insulating such coils is by wrapping in tapeiandsubseq'uently impregnating with varnish. Such coatingscannot be made solid enough at the concave surfaces of long coils; they are never perfect at spots where leads .penetr-ate them, and they usually have weak spotswhere the coil was supported during the impregnation-process.
A coating of the coils by a dipping process can produce a'complete and very-uniform encapsulation o'-a:small coil, but dipping is not suitable for large coils,.partioularly those requiring many supports in addition;toithe:connection leads themselves. Furthermore, dipping :processes are limited as a practical matter tothe pro'duction of thin layers of insulation, and hence. are.only..-suitable for low voltage devices.
Coating by casting, press-molding, or extrusion :can be made uniform irrespective of the shapeof the surface coated, and it can be made practicallyperfectzatispots where the leads leave the coil; these processes do not,
however, avoid imperfections at the areas where theicoi'ls are supported during the coating process. It. has been the practice in such processes to supportthemoils' during coating on supports which were made of the same. type of insulating material, such supports being leftiembodied in the final coating. The objetcion to this method isthat it produces discontinuities in. the dielectric characteristics of'the coating at the locality of the support, 'and his generally found that the breakdown voltages :for such points are much less than for the rest of the insulation.
It has also been attempted to provide adequate insulation with great dielectric uniformity by applying several coatings to the coil, one on top of the other,spe'rhaps shifting the support areas from one coating to another.
inevitably, this method of coating has failed to' escape from the problem of the dielectric characteristics of the insulating layers, so that there has always remained one or two points in the insulation at which breakdown could occur at a voltage much less then for all the'rest-of the insulating covering.

The susceptibility of such transformer coils to breakdown wherever a slight discontinuity occurs in the insulation has presented so insurmountable an obstacle that, at the :present time, dry type transformers of considerable size and high voltage are rare, and, where they exist, are expensively over insulated. There has not heretofore been known any method for fully incapsulating a large dry type transformer coil in a uniform insulating coating of sufficient thickness to withstand aj-highvoltage.
It :is, therefore, 'an important object of the present invention to provide a:method for fully incapsu'lating large transformer coils in a thick plastic coating :havirig :u-niform dielectric characteristics over its entire area.
It is an associated object of the invention ,to provide such a method in which a heavy coil maybe supported at several points, and over a substantial area, 'to prevent its being deformed under its own weight, while the coating is applied; and, 'to provide also that the areas of support may be subsequently coated without any substantial xiielectric discontinuity at the boundary zone between zthe areas first coated and the support areas subsequently coated.
It is anotherimportantobject of the invention toprovide a method for applying an insulating coating in two successivesteps to first and-second areas ofthe'coiLand .producinga joinder-orzseam at .the boundary betweenthe two coated areas which joins the two coatings without any appreciable or significant discontinuity in dielectric characteristics.
.The foregoing and other objects of the invention are accomplished by usingan'insulating plasticcoatingcomprised of two ingredients, which, upon mixture, .produce a coating which cures itself or maybecured by heating.
For example,'two rubber mixtures may be employed,cone vulcanizablemixture and one n0n-vu1oanizable:mixture containing an:accelerator of vulcanization. vA-muchpreferred material for thepracticeof the present invention is silicone rubber. Silicone materials of unusually stable andagoodelectrical insulating properties are obtainable in two component systems, provided in separate containers. A-lone, neither c'omponent will set up to a resilienttrn-ass.
When thetwo components are mixed, combination of. the catalysts promotes vulcanization of the mixture. :The
mixture may be vulcanized withoutadditional' heat :or ,pressure, by curing atrroom temperature for several. hours.
However, if desired, more rapid vulcanizationmay be accomplished .by heating the material. It .is advantageous for thesuccessful'practice of the present invention that the two materials be distinguishable from. each from :5 to 25% .by weight of an aliphatic silicate such as ethyl or'thosilicate, ethyl polysilicate, allyl orthosilicate or propyl orthosilicate and as a curing catalyst metal salts of carboxylic acids such-as lead octoate, 'dibuty-ltindiacetate, cobalt naphthenate, tin octoate, and the like as describedin detail in British Patent No. 7643246 published on'December 19, 1956. With reference to Example 5 of this patent, the siloxanes and-quartz can be mixed, the mixture dividedinto two parts, and the silicate mixed to one part and the catalyst mixed with the other part. The two mixtures will thus be approximately of equal volume with each being non-curing separately, but on intermixing of the two mixtures, a cure will set it. Such material is available in various consistencies from liquid to thick putty-like dough. For the present application, it is desirable to utilize the two components with an identifying coloring, for instance one white component and one red component, so that the character of the mixture can be closely estimated by its color. Preferably, the two components are mixed to a dough-like consistency, usually in equal parts of each component, and applied to a high voltage coil in a thick uniform layer.
The invention and its advantages may best be understood from the following description of a preferred specific embodiment, read in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a sectional view in a plane normal to the surface of a coil and a support member, after a first area has been coated with insulating plastic;
Figures 2 to 4 are sectional views like Figure l, and showing successive steps in the process of applying the insulating coating to a second area and producing a continuous seam between said first and second coated areas;
Figure 5 is another sectional view like Figures 1 to 4 showing the final product of a surface coated by continuous uniform layer of insulating plastic; and
Figures 6 and 7 show another species of the invention.
In Figure l, a coil indicated generally by the numeral 10 has a surface 11 to be coated by a uniform insulating layer free of dielectric discontinuities. It is assumed that the coil is too large to be supported from its connecting leads and dipped into a vat of liquid plastic insulating material. Instead, a heavy layer of insulating plastic, 12, has been applied over most of the coil surface referred to hereinafter as the first area 15. The plastic coating, 12 is comprised of a two component system, which components are indicated by the light and heavy cross-hatching, 13 and 14.
A second area of the coil 10, indicated by the numeral 16, cannot be coated at the first coating step because it is covered by a support member, 17, which may, for example, be a pedestal or a part of a jig support.
Between the areas, 15 and 16, there is a boundary zone 18 which is left uncoated by the first coating 12 but is also not covered by the support member 17. This peripheral area or boundary zone between the first and second areas, 15 and 16 respectively, may be of a width a little greater than the thickness of the coating 12.
The next step, illustrated in Figure 2, is the coating of the boundary zone 18 with a part layer of only one of the plastic components, 13. It is much preferred that the first boundary coating 19 be applied before the first coating 12 has cured, and, consequently, before the support member 17 has been removed. It is also a much preferred species of the invention to apply the coating 19 in a layer which gradually diminishes in thickness from the first coating 12 to the edge of the uncoated second area, 16. This leaves no exposed and cured edge at the junction 20 between the first coating 12 and the first boundary coating 19.
After the coating 12 has completely cured, and there has been sufiicient intermigration of components at the junction 29 to thoroughly integrate the first area coating 12 with the edge of the boundary coating 19, the support member 17 is removed, since the coil 10 may now be supported at some other part, which has already been coated by the first coating 12.
As seen in Figure 3, the next step is to apply a mixture of components 13 and 14 to the second area 16 to form a second coating 21 over the area formerly covered by the support member 17. The coating 21 should be carefully mixed to match the coating 12, which may be checked by color matching; or may be taken from the same mix as was used for coating 12, and should be spread to the same thickness as coating 12.
Next, and preferably before the second coating 21 has completed curing, a second boundary layer 22 consisting of the second plastic component, 14, is applied at the boundary area, 18 and overlapping the first boundary coating, 19. It is most convenient to apply the second coating 22 so that it comes up to the surface level of the first and second coatings 12 and 21 as illustrated in Figure 4. There is thus an automatic measuring of about 50% for each of the two components, 13 and 14, at the boundary layer.
If the layers 19 and 22 were now left to stand, there would be some intermigration of the components'13 and 14 both at the junction 23 between the second area 21 and the second boundary layer coating 22, and at the junction 24 between the two boundary layers 19 and 22. Unfortunately, curing in such a manner produces serious insulating defects at the seam between the first and second coatings, 12 and 21. It is, therefore, an important feature of the invention to manually or mechanically intermix the two layers 19 and 22 at their point of application on the boundary surface 18. A simple method of doing this is simply to use a putty knife and carefully knead the two layers 19 and 22 together until a uniformity of color indicates that the boundary zone 18 is covered by an insulating layer of the same composition as the first and second layers 12 and 21.
The second boundary coating 21 and the boundary zone layers 19 and 22 may then be allowed to cure, producing a uniform, thick, insulating coating as illustrated in Figure 5.
In another form of the invention, the coating is applied in a mixture 30 gradually diminishing in one component 13 as in Figure 6, so that curing diminishes to the boundary 31. When the second coat is applied, it is applied in a second mixture 32 which gradually diminishes in component 14 to the boundary 31, as in Figure 7. These two are then mechanically intermixed at boundary 3 1 to produce a uniform coating as in Figure 5.
The method of applying an insulating coating, described above, has been found suitable for entirely incapsulating a heavy coil in an insulating layer thicker than one-eighth of an inch. Moreover, when the steps of the method are carefully followed, the insulating strength of the coating at the seam over the boundary area 18, is not appreciably different from that of the first and second coatings 12 and 21. Also, tests indicate that there is no sudden change in dielectric characteristics at the junctions 20 and 23. Instead, the coil insulation exhibits a substantially uniform resistance to voltage breakdown, and does not betray any local concentration of stress in the dielectric.
It will be obvious that the method of coating described may be used for coating electrical equipment and the like other than coils in a transformer. Also, it is evident from the foregoing description that those skilled in the art of electrical insulation and of applying insulating plastic coatings will be able to make various changes and modifications in the method without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.
