Abstract

An end winding corona protection including a winding of a rotating electric machine, having a conductor and a groundwall insulation surrounding the conductor, an end winding corona protection arranged on the outer surface of the groundwall insulation, the end winding corona protection comprising a first layer characterized in that the surface resistance of the first layer is in the range of 10 Ohm to 80 Ohm, and in that the end winding corona protection further comprises a second layer arranged on the outer surface of the first layer, wherein the second layer is made of semiconductive material, and wherein third layer is arranged on the outer surface of the second layer and made of medium resistive material.

Claims (30)
