Electrical and Microstructure Properties of High Voltage Motor Stator Insulation

고압전동기 고정자 권선의 전기적 및 미세구조 특성

Two stator windings for high voltage motor(rated 6.6kV) were manufactured with mica tape/varnish(No. 1). and mica tape(No. 2). Electrical tests included ac current, tan $\delta$ and partial discharge magnitude in these stator windings. Electrical properties showed that No. 1 stator winding was better than that of No. 2. Microstructure properties were conducted using scanning electron microscope(SEM) in the cross section of the straight stator windings. SEM results indicated that the mica tape interface of No. 1 stator winding was larger than that of No. 2 stator winding.
