  • Patent number: 5982056
    Abstract: A highly thermal-conductive and thermal-resistant electrically insulated coil with less outflow of a thermosetting resin composition can be produced, to provide a small-scale, light-weight rotating machine with high power. The thermosetting resin composition comprises (a) a polyfunctional epoxy resin containing three or more p-(2,3-epoxypropoxy) phenyl groups and a group represented by the Chemical formula 1; or an epoxy resin with a naphthalene backbone, represented by the Chemical formula 3, 4 or 5 or an epoxy resin with an anthracene backbone, such as diglycidyl ether of anthracene diol and triglycidyl ether of anthracene triol; (b) a bifunctional epoxy resin containing two p-(2,3-epoxypropoxy) phenyl groups; (c) an acid anhydride curing agent; and (d) a metal acetonate curing catalyst represented by the Chemical formula 2 at 0.1 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the epoxy resins.

  • Patent number: 4192352
    Abstract: An insulator for covering electric conductors is used to cover, for the purpose of providing insulation, lead wires of the coils in rotary electric machines or stationary induction motors or conductors for connecting various electrical machinery and apparatus. The insulator is comprised of a flexible plastic film tube provided with a soft material on its inner surface. Such a construction prevents the insulation from being damaged even if the electric conductor has corners or bends or even if an external force is applied to the electric conductor because the soft material is compressed and deformed to absorb the applied force.

  • Patent number: 3990029
    Abstract: An electromagnetic apparatus in which a semiconductive liner of which at least one side is processed by mold releasing material is provided between the winding embedded in the slots of an iron core and the wall of the slot, and the remainder of the slots is filled with adhesive. The liner employed prevents the winding from adhering to the wall of the slot with the result that the insulating layer of winding is not damaged during thermal cycling and also corona discharge is prevented.
