Abstract

A method and device for forming corona shielding on a winding bar for high-voltage machines has end corona shielding in a first section and outer corona shielding in a second section that adjoins the first section. The method includes providing a first composition, including a carrier material and a first filler therein and a first electrical resistance; providing a second composition, including the same carrier material and a second filler therein and a second electrical resistance, wherein the first and second fillers contain an identical dopable semiconductor material, doping of which determines electrical resistance of the first and second fillers, and wherein the second resistance differs from the first resistance; applying the first composition in the first section to form the end corona shielding; and applying the second composition in the second section to form the outer corona shielding.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for forming corona shielding on a winding bar for high-voltage machines comprising end corona shielding in a first section and outer corona shielding in a second section, which adjoins the first section, said method comprising:
providing a first composition, which comprises a carrier material and a first filler contained therein and having a first electrical resistance;
providing a second composition, which comprises the same carrier material and a second filler contained therein and having a second electrical resistance, wherein the first and second fillers contain an identical dopable semiconductor material, whose doping determines the electrical resistance of the first and second fillers, and wherein the second resistance differs from the first resistance;
applying the first composition in the first section to form the end corona shielding; and
applying the second composition in the second section to form the outer corona shielding;
wherein during application, a proportion by weight of the first filler and a proportion by weight of the second filler are varied continuously along the first section such that the electrical resistance of the first composition varies continuously along the first section and makes a continuous transition into the electrical resistance of the second composition in the second section.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the second composition is set during application such that the electrical resistance of the second composition is substantially constant along the second section.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the electrical resistance of the first composition is set by virtue of a proportion by weight of the first filler being replaced by a proportion by weight of the second filler.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the first composition contains at least one third filler having a third resistance, wherein the third filler likewise comprises the same dopable semiconductor material, and the third resistance differs from the first and second resistances.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the carrier material of the first and second compositions has a filler content of more than 45 wt. %.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the corona shielding is formed in a continuous method.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the first and second compositions are applied by a spraying process that is a single continuous manufacturing step along both the first and second sections such that a sudden change in resistance in an axial direction along the winding bar is avoided.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the first and second compositions are provided in mixed form by a mixer and applied using a single spray nozzle or wherein the first composition is applied with at least one first spray nozzle and the second composition is applied with at least one second spray nozzle.

9. A method for forming corona shielding on a winding bar for high-voltage machines comprising end corona shielding in a first section and outer corona shielding in a second section which adjoins the first section, said method comprising:
providing a first composition which comprises a carrier material and a first filler contained therein and having a first electrical resistance;
providing a second composition which comprises the same carrier material and a second filler contained therein and having a second electrical resistance, wherein the first and second fillers contain an identical dopable semiconductor material whose doping determines the electrical resistance of the first and second fillers, and wherein the second resistance differs from the first resistance;
wherein the first composition and the second composition are applied along the first and section sections in a single continuous manufacturing step by respective nozzles controlled to apply a varying amount of the respective fillers along a length of the winding bar such that a resistance of the corona shielding along the first section makes a continuous transition into a resistance of the corona shielding along the second section.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first composition and the second composition are applied by the respective nozzles controlled to apply varying and opposite amounts of the respective fillers along a length of the first section, and wherein the second composition is applied without the first composition along the second section such that a sudden transition point between the first and second sections is avoided.

11. A method for forming corona shielding on a winding bar for a high-voltage machine comprising end corona shielding in a first section and outer corona shielding in a second section which adjoins the first section, said method comprising:
applying a corona shielding material along both the first and section sections in a single continuous manufacturing step, wherein the corona shielding material comprises a carrier material and a dopable filler material whose doping determines an electrical resistance of the corona shielding material; and
varying an amount of dopant in the applied corona shielding material along an axial length of the winding bar such that an electrical resistance of the corona shielding avoids a sudden transition between the end corona shielding and the outer corona shielding.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the corona shielding material comprises a first composition and a second composition applied by respective nozzles controlled to apply varying and opposite amounts of the dopable filler material along a length of the first section, and to apply the second composition without the first composition along the second section.
