Subsequent research in 1999 has extended FlashSoldering applications from miniature magnetic component packages to soldering insulated single and multiple magnet wires and Litz wire to high-speed data connectors and other forms of electronic contacts. Quality issues concerned with copper-tin intermetallic growth and what happens to the magnet wire insulation during FlashSoldering were successfully resolved. Applications for FlashSoldering have broadened to include: single and multiple toroidal transformer packaging; LAN filters; low power DC-DC converters; single or multiple form coils and inductors; woven or braided high speed data cables; and connecting a single wire to a Litz wire bundle.","PeriodicalId":415071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.

QUESTRA, crystalline polymers, are syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) produced using metallocene catalyst technology. In addition to good heat and chemical resistance characteristic of semi-crystalline thermo-plastics, they also exhibit good electrical properties, dimensional stability and insensitivity to moisture. Injection molding processing is made easier with the low melt viscosity of SPS, which typically needs no pre-drying. Thin wall parts can be filled with modest injection pressure and runner diameters can be reduced. Electrical insulation systems testing according to IEEE 117 and IEC 61857 has been completed and this new thermoplastic is now recognized under UL 1446. This set of properties makes glass-reinforced SPS resin well suited for coil, transformer and motor applications.","PeriodicalId":415071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.

Empirical theories based upon local stress enhancement were used to estimate corona onset, creep discharge, and spark breakdown as a function of insulation thickness and air gap spacing. The corona onset calculations were verified using actual test setups and monitoring the corona with the Corona Scope/sup TM/. Sparkover tests were also done to verify the calculations.","PeriodicalId":415071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.

Partial discharge testing can be performed either when the machine is not operating (offline) or during normal machine operation (on-line). Off-line PD testing is a well-known method to assess the stator winding insulation. Over ten years, on-line PD testing has proven to be a successful technique of monitoring stator insulation condition to forewarn plant personnel of possible machine failures and to help them implement a predictive maintenance program. This paper presents an on-line and off-line PD test on a hydro-generator using the same test instrument and sensors. A comparison of the two tests indicates that the off-line test results are consistent with the on-line test results. Similarities and differences of the on-line and off-line PD tests are discussed.","PeriodicalId":415071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.

These manufacturers have improved their winding process to be more automatic with higher winding speed. They also try to fill a slot of a coil with more volume of magnet wire to produce higher efficiency product. There is a strong possibility that the insulation coating of the wire is damaged in the winding process. Conventionally, to prevent insulation from damage, we have developed some unique Bell-lubricating enamel or new surface lubricant for magnet wire. In the circumstance, we have developed new enamel, which improved adhesion between bare wire conductor and enamel insulation film of magnet wire. This challenge successfully provided new magnet wire that significantly improves windability.","PeriodicalId":415071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.

Their inherently high electrical resistance and low electrical dissipation, coupled with high mechanical strength under wet and high humidity conditions, provide the necessary properties for use in motor windings, wire and cable coatings, filament wound and pultruded structures and laminates.
