Abstract
Abstract A process for electrodepositing mica and a water soluble anionic resin binder, such as a modified polyester resin, is disclosed as a means for applying a heavy coating of a high-voltage, mica-bearing electrical insulation onto uninsulated and porous mica tape-insulated portions of electrical connections in dynamoelectric machines. The electrodeposited mica coating is subsequently impregnated with a suitable resin, such as an epoxy or polyester resin, concurrently with the impregnation of other conventional insulations in the machine. Alternatively, deposition and impregnation of the connection insulation can be performed prior to installing the connection into the machine.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
An electric motor assembly including a plurality of insulated coils connected in series by coil leads joined in pairs at their free ends, porous mica tape wrapped on coils and on portions of coil leads, electrodeposited insulation covering the joined free ends of the coil leads and overlapping porous mica tape coil lead insulation adjacent thereto, the electrodeposited insulation in each instance being electrodeposited from an aqueous bath consisting essentially of 5-35% of particulated mica, 0.2-2% of a water soluble polyester resin binder as calculated in resin solids, 0.001-0.20% of an electrolyte, up to 0.3% of a non-ionic surfactant and the remainder water, the electrodeposited insulation being in contact with and bonded securely to the coil lead porous mica tape and coil lead exposed metal surface and being continuous and crack free and of substantially uniform thickness greater than about 50 mils on the joined free ends of the leads but tapering in thickness on porous mica tape coil lead insulation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The assembly of claim 1 in which the electrodeposited coating on the Joined free ends of the coil leads is about 120 mils in thickness and extends about 130 miles in length over the porous mica tape coil lead insulation.
