  • Publication number: 20180330871
    Abstract: An insulation system for an electrical power transformer that includes at least a non-cellulose based axial spacer. The axial spacer may include a pair of spacer arms that extend from a base wall of the axial spacer. Additionally, the spacer arms and the base wall may generally define a hollow inner region of the axial spacer, thereby reducing the volume of the axial spacer. According to certain embodiments, the spacer may include lips that are adapted to lockingly engage a radial spacer. Additionally, at least a portion of the axial spacer and the radial spacer may be constructed from a thermoplastic and/or a thermoset plastic. Further, according to certain embodiments, another portion of the axial spacer, such as, for example, the lips, may be formed from a flexible thermoplastic elastomer or a thermoset elastomer so as to provide the axial spacer with a combination of both flexibility and stiffness.

  • Patent number: 9870847
    Abstract: The method relates to an electric device comprising at least two electrodes which are separated by dielectric part. At least one of said electrodes is arranged to be at a floating potential. The dielectric part comprises at least one turn of at least one non-impregnatable electrically insulating film between two neighboring electrodes. The electrodes are bonded to adjacent turns of non-impregnatable insulating film, and adjacent turns of non-impregnatable insulating film, if any, are bonded to each other, so that the turns of non-impregnatable insulating film and the electrodes form a solid body. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing an electric device, where bonding of at least one turn is performed upon forming of said turn, so that the bonding of said turn to the turn/electrode underneath will commence before said turn has been completely covered by the next turn.
