Abstract
A method of fabricating an HVRM conductor is disclosed. The method may include wrapping a conductor bundle with a resin-rich mica tape to form a wrapped bundle and placing the wrapped bundle in a sleeve comprising a liquid-impermeable material to form a covered bundle. The method may also include at least partially submerging the covered bundle in a vat of liquid, and thereafter placing the conductor bundle in a press.

A method of fabricating an HVRM conductor, comprising:
- wrapping a conductor bundle with a resin-rich mica tape to form a wrapped bundle;
- placing the wrapped bundle in a sleeve comprising a liquid-impermeable material to form a covered bundle;
- at least partially submerging the covered bundle in a vat of liquid;
- and
- thereafter placing the conductor bundle in a press.
A method of fabricating an HVRM conductor, comprising:
- spiral wrapping a conductor bundle with a resin-rich mica tape to form a wrapped bundle;
- placing the wrapped bundle within a sleeve comprising a liquid-impermeable material to form a covered bundle;
- sealing any open end of the sleeve;
- evacuating the sleeve;
- thereafter fully submerging the covered bundle in a vat of primarily water heated to about 60-100° C.;
- and
- thereafter placing the conductor bundle in a dynamic press heated to about 130-180° C. to shape the conductor bundle and cure a resin in the resin-rich mica tape.
