Abstract In a canned motor including a stator with a cylindrical housing, a stator core having a stator winding and mounted on an inner surface of the motor housing, a pair of end brackets each secured to one of two opposite open ends of the motor housing, a cylindrical can mounted on an inner side of the stator core and secured at opposite ends to the end brackets, and a rotor arranged on an inner side of the can, the stator sealed by the can is filled with a porous insulator. The canned motor having the stator provided with the porous insulator is produced by a method wherein a mixture of filler in particulate form and resin in powder form is poured in a space in the stator sealed by the can, and the mixture is heated to allow the resin to cure to form the filler and resin into a porous body, to achieve molding of the stator and provide it with an insulator in the form of the porous body.
A canned motor comprising: a stator including a cylindrical motor housing, a stator core having a stator winding mounted on an inner surface of said motor housing, a pair of end brackets each secured to one of two opposite open ends of said motor housing, and a cylindrical can arranged on an inner side of said stator core and secured at opposite ends to said end brackets; a rotor mounted on an inner surface of said can; and a porous insulator located in said stator and sealed by said motor housing, said end brackets and said can, said porous insulator is formed of an inorganic filler in particulate form having a grain size in a range of between 0.05 and 0.35 mm, and a resin having minute pores and connecting filler particles together, the resin is within a range of between 3-20 weight parts for 100 weight parts of the inorganic filler.
