Abstract
Abstract An insulated high-voltage winding of an electrical machine is protected against glow discharge by application thereto of a wound-on tape of semi-conductive material which has been prestretched in its longitudinal direction and which is thereafter contracted by heat treatment. In one embodiment, the tape is a woven structure in which the warp threads consist of a prestretched, non-heat set polymer such as polyester and the weft threads being of the same material but dimensionally stable. In a modified embodiment for the woven tape, the weft threads consist of an inorganic material such as glass or asbestos. According to another embodiment the tape is constituted by sections cut from a foil which is pre-stretched in a longitudinal direction and nonheat-set, the foil being made from polymerous carbon fluoride, or polyester or polyvinylidenefluoride. The surface of the foil sections to be wound onto the winding insulation can be pretreated such as by cauterization or corona discharge to improve its adhesive character.
