  • Publication number: 20230399504
    Abstract: A resin producing method is a method of producing a resin with which an insulating structure formed on an outer peripheral portion of a conductor is impregnated. The resin producing method includes a dispersion liquid mixing step of mixing an epoxy resin and a dispersion liquid in which a nanofiller is dispersed in a reactive diluent that reduces a viscosity of the epoxy resin by reacting with the epoxy resin, and a curing agent mixing step of mixing a composition produced by the dispersion liquid mixing step, with a curing agent that cures the epoxy resin. The epoxy resin includes, for example, an alicyclic epoxy resin.

  • Patent number: 10903710
    Abstract: A producing method for an electrical insulating structure that covers an outer surface of a to-be-insulated object is provided. The method comprises: a taping step of winding a main insulation tape on outside of the to-be-insulated object; a spraying step of spraying nanoparticles onto the outer surface of the wound main insulation tape; a vacuum drawing step of vacuum drawing the tape-wound to-be-insulated object; and an impregnation step of injecting a nanoparticle-containing impregnating macromolecular polymer in which nanoparticles have been kneaded to impregnate the to-be-insulated object therewith. In the spraying step, microcapsules, which contain the nanoparticles and are able to release the nanoparticles before the impregnation step, are sprayed.
