High-voltage winding including double-sided insulating tape and associated methods

Abstract

A high-voltage winding is described for use in a dynamoelectric machine. The high-voltage winding includes an electrical conductor (12), an insulator (14) surrounding the electrical conductor, and an electrically conductive layer (16) surrounding the insulator. The insulator (14) may include a tape (18) arranged to define a wrapped layer. A double-sided tape may be provided that includes a flexible tape substrate (20) with an inner major surface (22) adjacent the conductor (12) and an outer major surface (24) opposite the inner major surface. An inner silicate layer (26) may be secured to the inner major surface and an outer silicate layer (28) to the outer major surface. A single-sided tape may also be provided between the conductors and double-sided tape.
