Sound-insulating device for an induction machine

Abstract

A sound-insulating device for a stationary induction machine with an active part, an insulating fluid surrounding the active part, and a tank enclosing the insulating fluid. The sound-absorbing device includes a gas-filled cavity and a resilient member surrounding the gas-filled cavity, thus obtaining a sound-insulating device that is extremely compressible. In the induction machine, the device is arranged between the active part and the tank of the induction machine and is spaced from the inside of the tank. The sound-insulating device preferably has an extent in one plane, whereby the device has a membrane portion facing the active part and a membrane portion facing the tank. Preferably, at least one of the membrane portions has at least one corrugated region, and a spacing membrane is arranged in the cavity making contact with the membrane portion at at least two points.
