Resistively graded insulation for stators

Abstract

Insulation systems that present an electrical stress grading through the disposition of resistively graded networks between insulating layers is described. The resistively graded networks may be implemented by coating insulating material with resistive material, and wrapping the insulation material around a conductor. The resistive material may be linear or non-linear material. Fabrication of the insulating material, the resistive material, and the coating process are also discussed, as well as the application of the insulation to the conductor are also discussed.
