  • Assembly and method for manufacturing insulation layer of electrical conductors
    Patent number: 10388437
    Abstract: An assembly and a method for manufacturing an insulation layer of an electrical conductor are presented. The electrical conductor is enclosed in a cavity of a mold. Spacers embedded into holes of the mold are movable into the cavity for holding the electrical conductor in the cavity to maintain a gap between the electrical conductor and surface of the cavity. Distance of the gap is defined by thickness of the insulation layer. Spacers are movable into the holes of the mold from the cavity to maintain even surface of the cavity. Insulation compound fills entire gap and is cured to form the insulation layer having homogenous thickness.
    Type: Grant
