Abstract: The present disclosure describes slot insulation systems for electrical rotating machines. For example, a system may include: a main insulation for a coil of the rotating machine or for an individual bar for the coil; a resin formulation serving as a slot adhesive forming a solid film. At room temperature and under standard conditions, the solid film is in an A-state. Heating the electrical rotating machine to a curing temperature for the resin formulation, the solid film firstly melts and flows within an occupied slot, then cures and solidifies to form a thermoset material.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a conductor element of an electrical rotating machine. An example includes: a conductive core having a voltage rating greater than 700 volts; and a powder coating insulating the conductive core. The powder coating comprises two uncrosslinked plastics components comprising a solid at room temperature under standard conditions. A first uncrosslinked polyimide-containing plastics component and a second uncrosslinked epoxy-containing plastics component are present in the powder coating in a mixing ratio between 99:1 and 1:99.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include an insulation system. An example includes a polymer blend in the form of a solid two-dimensional insulation material, a material for wire insulation by means of extrusion and/or an injection-molded and/or compression-molded article. The blend is resistant to partial discharges and at least partly replaces any mica content in the insulation system. The blend comprises at least three blend partners including at least one copolymer based on polyetherimide and siloxane blended with at least two high-temperature thermoplastics. At least of one the high-temperature thermoplastics is in semicrystalline form, such that spherulites are detectable in the polymer blend.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to the field of insulating electrical conductors against partial discharge in the medium- and high-voltage ranges. In particular, the invention relates to an insulating system for an electric machine, in particular a rotating electric machine such as an electric motor and/or a generator. The invention provides for the first time a substitute for the conventionally used mica as a barrier material in an insulating system, such as the main insulation of rotating electric machines such as motors and/or generators. The substitute is based on a polyether-imide/siloxane copolymer, which can be processed two-dimensionally, for example by surface extrusion. In this way, sheets are produced and, after being processed in sheet form or as a laminate, can be used as planar insulating materials, or cut as strips, in insulating systems.

Abstract: A coil of a stator winding of an electric machine is formed of a number of windings, which are wound together with a number of layers of a mica tape, on which a number of layers of a cover tape are in turn wound. The coil is a three-dimensional form-wound coil. The mica tape has a bending stiffness of less than 50 N/m according to specification IEC 60371-2:2004 and a static friction coefficient between the top side and the bottom side thereof of less than 0.7 according to specification ISO 8295:1995.

Abstract: A coil of a stator winding of an electric machine has a number of windings that are wound together with a number of layers of a mica strip, onto which, in turn, a number of layers of a cover strip are wound. The cover strip has a sequence of two layers. The two layers are a woven fabric and a film. The fabric is formed of glass fiber or of a first high-performance polymer. The film is formed of a second high-performance polymer.
