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. The method may also include at least partially submerging the wrapped bundle in a vat of fluidized granular medium, and thereafter placing the conductor bundle in a press.

A method of fabricating a High Voltage Rotating Machine (HVRM) conductor, comprising:
- wrapping a conductor bundle with a resin-rich mica tape to form a wrapped bundle;
- at least partially submerging the wrapped bundle in a fluidized granular medium;
- pressurizing a vat containing the fluidized granular medium after the wrapped bundle has been at least partially submerged in the fluidized granular medium;
- and
- thereafter placing the conductor bundle in a press.

A method of fabricating a High Voltage Rotating Machine (HVRM) conductor, comprising:
- spiral wrapping a conductor bundle with a resin-rich mica tape to form a wrapped bundle;
- covering the wrapped bundle with a sacrificial material to form a covered bundle;
- fully submerging the covered bundle in a vat of fluidized granular medium heated to about 60-100° C.;
- pressurizing the vat of fluidized granular medium in an autoclave after the covered bundle has been fully submerged;
- and
- 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.
