  • Patent number: 4546130
    Abstract: A molding material having low moisture permeability for use in the stators of submersible motors. The molding material comprises approximately 20-30 parts by weight of an epoxy resin, approximately 1-3 parts by weight of a curing agent, approximately 0.5-1.5 parts by weight of zinc stearate, approximately 2-3 parts by weight of a mechanical reinforcing agent, approximately 7.5-56.5 parts by weight of quartz powder, and one or more substances selected from anhydrous gypsum and silica gel, with the total amount of said inorganic substance(s) being approximately 55-20 parts by weight, and with the total amount of quartz powder and said inorganic substance(s) being approximately 62.5-76.5 parts by weight. Because of its low moisture permeability, the insulating properties of the molding material can be maintained indefinitely.

  • Patent number: 4532446
    Abstract: A submerged electric motor comprises an outer hollow cylinder formed of a stainless steel, a stator iron core fixed on the inside of the outer cylinder, an annular end plate of a general structural rolled steel welded to an annular end portion formed between the outer hollow cylinder and an inner hollow cylinder coaxial with it by using a welding wire of the stainless steel. A combined deposit metal and fused portion underlaid with the end plate is machined to have an end surface flush with that of the end plate. A bracket is fixed to those end surfaces through bolts. Also a sheet-shaped soft sealing member may be interposed between the bracket and the machined end plate.

  • Patent number: 4496866
    Abstract: The stator core having stator coils thereon of a submersible electric motor is provided with a cylindrical can disposed in engagement with the inner surface of the stator coil and molded resin member is formed completely about the external surface of the core, the end surfaces of the core and the end portions of the coils in engagement with the end portions of the can to completely encapsulate the core and coils. The end portions of the can may be bent outwardly and embedded directly in the molded resin member during the molding thereof with the can located within the core. Alternatively, a mold tool may be located within the core for molding the molded resin member about the stator core and coils and upon removal of the tool a hollow cylindrical can may be located within the core. The end portions of the can are then sealed to the end portions of the molded member. A terminal plate and fastener fittings may also be molded integrally into the molded member.

  • Patent number: 4486677
    Abstract: In an encased electric motor within a casing, an electrically insulating varnish is applied by vacuum impregnation to the inside surfaces of the casing and to the outer surface of the stator of the motor. The remaining empty space within the casing is filled with a heat conducting gas mixture comprising approximately 60-90% by volume of helium, with the remaining percentage being an electrically insulating gas having better electrically insulating properties than helium, such as sulphur hexafluoride. This encased motor is much lighter than conventional encased motors in which the stator enclosure is filled with a heat conducting resin potting compound and avoids warping damage which frequently occurs in conventional encased motors due to thermal expansion of the heat conducting resin potting compound.
