VARNISH FOR PARTIAL DISCHARGE RESISTANT ENAMELED WIRE AND PARTIAL DISCHARGE RESISTANT ENAMELED WIRE
A varnish for a partial discharge resistant enameled wire includes an insulating varnish, and an organosol including an inorganic fine particle comprising a metal oxide fine particle or a silicon oxide fine particle. The organosol is dispersed in the insulating varnish. The inorganic fine particle includes a hollow portion therein.
1 . A varnish for a partial discharge resistant enameled wire, comprising:
an insulating varnish; and
an organosol including an inorganic fine particle comprising a metal oxide fine particle or a silicon oxide fine particle, the organosol being dispersed in the insulating varnish,
wherein the inorganic fine particle comprises a hollow portion therein.
2 . The varnish according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow portion occupies a space of not less than 10% of a whole volume of the inorganic fine particle.
3 . The varnish according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic fine particle is contained 1 to 100 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of a resin portion of the insulating varnish.
4 . The varnish according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic fine particle has an average particle diameter of not more than 100 nm.
5 . The varnish according to claim 1 , wherein the organosol is uniformly dispersed in a dispersion medium compatible with the insulating varnish, and is in the form of a transparent or opalescent colloid.
6 . A partial discharge resistant enameled wire, comprising:
a conductor; and
a partial discharge resistant enamel film obtained by coating and baking the varnish according to claim 1 on the conductor.
7 . The partial discharge resistant enameled wire according to claim 6 , wherein the partial discharge resistant enamel film is formed directly or via an other insulating film on the conductor.
