Impact Of New Motor And Generator Insulation Systems
The demand for increasing the efficiency of electrical HV machines with regard to overall costs, maintenance costs, service life and power output is high. The reasons are obvious. Higher demand for electricity, increasing raw material costs and increasing maintenance costs are all factors. Erecting new power plants is often not possible, and so other ways to meet the needs are required.
Increasing operating performance and efficiency of an electric machine can be achieved through the improvement or modification of the components of the primary insulating material. Relevant variables in the construction of a machine can be found in the components of the insulating materials and their overall thickness. These components can influence the electric strength and overall service life. In addition, the electrical insulation system determines the thermal classification and therefore the construction of a machine.
