Abstract: Various teachings of the present disclosure include an electrical switching device. The device may include: two contactable conductor elements with adjustable spacing set by a movement apparatus; and a housing defining a switching chamber and at least partially surrounding the at least two conductor elements. The housing has an insulator body and regions of an electrical contact. The housing includes an external refraction-controlling coating with a dielectrically insulating matrix made of a material with a permittivity ?r>/=2.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a sprayable formulation for production of a multilayer insulation for an electrical machine, especially a rotating electrical machine in the high-voltage or mid-voltage sector, for example a generator, transformer, which is subjected to higher rated voltages at operating voltages, i.e., for example, over and above 1 kV or more. The invention also relates to an electrical machine comprising such an insulation; the invention finally relates to a method of producing the multilayer insulation. This comprises spraying of various formulations with or without intermediate, especially metallic, interfaces and is automatable.

Abstract: An insulating system having improved partial discharge resistance includes an insulating tape around a conductor. The tape is a mica tape joined to a carrier. The tape is impregnated with a synthetic resin, and is interspersed with a nanoparticulate filler, present bimodally, in the form of two fractions of the filler differing in particle size and fraction size. An adhesion promoter may be in the resin.

Abstract: Disclosed are insulating electric conductors against partial discharge and a method for producing an insulation system having improved partial discharge resistance and such an insulation system. There is an erosion-inhibiting effect of adhesion promoters, such as organic silicon compounds, added to resin when admixing nano particulate fillers. Good results may be attributable to a type of particle wetting of the nano particles as a result of particle wetting with organosilanes. The admixture of adhesion promoters with the resin before the addition of the nano particulate filler provides considerable advantages.

Abstract: A method for producing tape for an electrical insulation system, including the following steps: providing a porous insulation paper; providing a resin that has nano-scale particles suspended therein; saturating the insulation paper with the resin such that the resin and particles become dispersed in the insulation paper; and finishing the tape.

Abstract: A mica-based insulation based on impregnating resin for rotating electrical machines is provided. The mica-based impregnating resin includes an epoxy resin/anhydride mixture and a nanoparticulate filler, wherein the nanoparticulate filler is a nanoparticulate silicon dioxide and/or aluminum oxide modified by a silanizing reagent. Further, a method of producing the mica-based impregnating resin is provided.
