Abstract

Fewer insulation layers can be used by virtue of using hydrophobic electrically conductive materials around a main insulation around a conductive bar. There are several more layers of conductive and/or non-conductive material.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An insulation system comprising:
a metallic bar;
a main insulation around the bar;
a single first layer of a single tape of composite material comprising at least one first electrically conductive material and at least one hydrophobic material wrapped around the main insulation, a second layer of a different second electrically conductive material directly on the main insulation, and a third outermost layer of an electrically conductive material; and
a fourth layer, between the first layer with the at least one first electrically conductive material and the at least one hydrophobic material and the main insulation, of an electrically conductive material, which is different from the at least one first electrically conductive material,
wherein the electrically conductive materials of the second and third layers are different from the at least one first electrically conductive material,
wherein the first layer is between the second layer and the third layer,
wherein the single first tape comprises a woven fabric comprising fibers, each fiber comprising graphite and PTFE,
wherein the single tape is one of one or more tapes wrapped around the main insulation, and
wherein the tapes are in a form of a succession of windings, each winding having edges, and the edges of successive windings of the tapes abut each other.

2. The insulation system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main insulation comprises mica.

3. An electrical machine, which includes an insulation system as claimed in claim 1 .

4. The electrical machine of claim 3 , which comprises a generator.

5. The insulation system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive materials of the second layer and the third layer are the same.

6. An insulation system comprising:
a metallic bar;
a main insulation around the bar;
at least one first layer, each first layer being a single layer of a single tape of composite material comprising at least one first electrically conductive material and at least one hydrophobic material, the single tape being wrapped around the main insulation and a second layer of a different second electrically conductive material directly on the main insulation;
a third layer which consists of an electrically conductive material, the third layer being the outermost layer; and
a fourth layer, between the first layer with the at least one first electrically conductive material and the at least one hydrophobic material and the main insulation, of an electrically conductive material, which is different from the at least one first electrically conductive material,
wherein the at least one first layer is between the second layer and the third layer,
wherein the single first tape comprises a woven fabric comprising fibers, each fiber comprising graphite and PTFE,
wherein the single tape is one of one or more tapes wrapped around the main insulation, and
wherein the tapes are in a form of a succession of windings, each winding having edges, and the edges of successive windings of the tapes abut each other.

7. The insulation system as claimed in claim 6 , which has the main insulation and only three layers selected from the group consisting of: the at least one first layer, the second layer, and the third layer.

8. The insulation system as claimed in claim 6 , which has the main insulation and only two layers selected from the group consisting of: the at least one first layer and the second layer.

9. The insulation system as claimed in claim 6 , which has one first layer.

10. The insulation system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the electrically conductive materials of the second layer and the third layer are the same.
