  • Publication number: 20140327506
    Abstract: An oil transformer includes a transformer vessel, a transformer core mounted in the vessel, at least one upright hollow cylindrical transformer coil including at least one axial cooling channel arranged around a limb of the transformer core, and an oil chamber arranged at an axial front side of the transformer coil. At least one first opening leading from the inner chamber to the belonging front side of the transformer coil is provided, and at least one second opening is provided within the surrounding boundaries of the oil chamber. The oil chamber is an under-pressure chamber, wherein the at least one first opening is an inlet port and the at least one second opening is an outlet port.

  • Publication number: 20130203897
    Abstract: Electrical insulation system with improved electrical breakdown strength, including a hardened polymer component having incorporated therein a filler material and a nano-scale sized filler material. The hardened polymer component is selected from epoxy resin compositions, polyesters, polyamides, polybutylene terephthalate, polyurethanes and polydicyclo-pentadiene. The filler material has an average particle size within the range of 1 ?m-500 ?m, and is present in a quantity within the range of 40%-65% by weight, calculated to the total weight of the insulation system. The nano-scale sized filler material is a pretreated nano-scale sized filler material, having been produced by a sol-gel process. The nano-scale sized filler material is present within the electrical insulation system in an amount of about 1%-20% by weight, calculated to the weight of the filler material present in the electrical insulation system.

  • Publication number: 20110027532
    Abstract: A surface modified electrical insulation system having a super hydrophobic surface, the insulation system having a hardened or cured synthetic polymer composition which contains at least one filler material and optionally further additives. The at least one filler material can be selected from a group of filler materials containing inorganic oxides, inorganic hydroxides and inorganic oxyhydroxides. The surface of the electrical insulation system can be formed as a structured surface with micro-scale and nano-scale features, whereby the surface is covered with a liquid hydrophobic compound.

  • Patent number: 7851525
    Abstract: A high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber is disclosed and includes a high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber as a silicone base and melamine cyanurate as a filler and at least one inorganic filler which is different from melamine cyanurate, and optionally further additives. A total filler content can be within a range of 40 parts (by weight) to 230 parts (by weight) per 100 parts (by weight) of silicone base; wherein (i) the melamine cyanurate is present within a range of 2 parts (by weight) to 40 parts (by weight) per 100 parts (by weight) of silicone base; and (ii) the at least one inorganic filler is an electrical insulator.

  • Publication number: 20100227158
    Abstract: Surface modified electrical insulation system including a hardened or cured synthetic polymer composition including at least one filler, wherein the surface of said synthetic polymer composition is modified by being coated with a thin coating. The thin coating is applied by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with a thickness within the range of about 50 nanometer to about 50 ?m; and/or a by a sol-gel technique with a thickness within the range of about 0.5 micron to about 1 mm. The thin coat is an electrically non-conductive polymeric material having a melting point which is distinctly higher than the melting point or degradation temperature of the synthetic filler containing polymer composition.
