Abstract

An electric insulation material for an electric device includes one or several electrical conductors and an electric insulation material arranged around the conductor or between the conductors, which insulation material is impregnated with a dielectric insulation liquid. The electric insulation material includes a main layer that is provided with a surface layer that has a dielectric constant that is lower than the dielectric constant of the main layer.

Claims (12)

1. An electric insulation material for an electric device comprising one or several electrical conductors and an electric insulation material arranged around the conductor or between the conductors, and which insulation material is impregnated with a dielectric insulation liquid, characterized in that the electric insulation material comprises a main layer which comprises high density pressboard and that said main layer that is provided with a surface layer comprising a cellulose based material that has a dielectric constant that is lower than a dielectric constant of the main layer.

2. The electric insulation material according to claim 1 , characterized in that the dielectric constant of the surface layer is at least 0.3 below the dielectric constant of the main layer.

3. The electric insulation material according to claim 1 , characterized in that the surface layer has a thickness of at least 10 μm.

4. The electric insulation material according to claim 3 , characterized in that the surface layer has a thickness of 10-5000 μm.

5. An electric device comprising one or several electrical conductors and an electric insulation material arranged around the conductor or between the conductors and which electric insulation material is impregnated with a dielectric insulation liquid, characterized in that the electric insulation material comprises an electric insulation material as defined in claim 1 .

6. The electric device according to claim 5 , characterized in that the electric device is a high voltage electric apparatus.

7. A transformer, characterized in that an electric insulation material according to claim 1 is used as an insulation barrier in regions with high electrical stress.

8. Electric insulation material according to claim 1 , characterized in that the cellulose based surface layer comprises a material chosen from:

low density pressboard,

waved pressboard,

Kraft paper, or

crepe paper.
