Abstract A static plate constructed for the enhancement of partial discharge characteristics by the elimination of foil to oil interfaces. The conducting foil of the static plate is positioned between two relatively flexible electrical insulating members and uniformly bonded thereto by a suitable adhesive. The relatively flexible insulating members are disposed between relatively rigid insulating members and bonded thereto by an adhesive which allows some relative movement between the rigid and flexible insulating members. Dimensional changes of the conducting foil and of the rigid insulating members produce irregularities in the surface of the conducting foil. Since the tightly bonded flexible insulating members conform to the shape of the conducting foil, a solid insulating material is always positioned between the conducting foil and the oil dielectric of the transformer. Thus, irregularities in the conducting foil of the static plate do not produce foil to oil interfaces which are conducive to partial discharge.
A static plate for electrical inductive apparatus, comprising: first and second relatively rigid insulating members; first and second relatively flexible insulating members each having first and second sides; an electrically couductive member having first and second sides; the first side of said conductive member being tightly bonded to the first side of said first flexible insulating member by an adhesive; the second side of said conductive member being tightly Bonded to the first side of said second flexible insulating member by an adhesive; the second side of said first flexible insulating member being relatively loosely bonded to the first rigid insulating member; and the second side of said second flexible insulating member being relatively loosely bonded to the second rigid insulating member.
