  • Patent number: 10199136
    Abstract: An insulating tape having a mica layer, a reinforcing layer having a filler and a fiber reinforcing material laminated on the mica layer, and a cellulose derivative layer laminated on the reinforcing layer is provided. One or more hydroxyl groups in the glucose units of the cellulose derivative are substituted with a functional group such as —CH2CH2OH or —(CH2CH2O)pH (where p is any repeating number up to 50). The weight per unit area of the mica ranges from 100 g/m2 to 200 g/m2. The filler has a maximum particle size of 100 ?m or smaller and a weight per unit area ranging from 10 g/m2 to 50 g/m2. The insulating tape is useful to form a stator coil insulating layer with high thermal conductivity, with no outflow of a filler to the exterior during production of the stator coil, and with enhanced bonding strength.

  • Patent number: 9925744
    Abstract: An insulating tape including: a mica layer containing mica; a reinforcing layer that is laminated onto the mica layer and contains a filler and a fibrous reinforcing material; and a flat sheet layer that is laminated onto the reinforcing layer and contains flat sheet-shaped inorganic particles having an aspect ratio of at least 30. In this insulating tape, the filler is supported in advance, and does not therefore flow out during manufacture of a stator coil, for example during hot-pressing. As a result, an insulating coating exhibiting high thermal conductivity can be formed.

  • Patent number: 6130496
    Abstract: A stator coil for a rotating electrical machine having a ground wall insulation of a stator coil impregnated with a resin, maintaining a releasing characteristic between the ground wall insulation and a slot of a stator core, preventing surface corona and exhibiting excellent characteristics for a long time. The stator coil of the rotating electrical machine has a conductor covered with an insulating layer and a surface-corona preventive layer, the stator coil being accommodated in the slot of a stator core and, together with the stator core, impregnated with a thermosetting resin so that the stator coil is integrated with the stator core. The surface-corona preventive layer has a wound semiconductive tape and a composite tape including a fluorine-containing non-bonding material layer on a second semiconductive tape.
