Insulating tape, method for producing same, and stator coil
An insulating tape including: a mica layer containing mica; a reinforcing layer that is laminated onto the mica layer and contains a filler and a fibrous reinforcing material; and a flat sheet layer that is laminated onto the reinforcing layer and contains flat sheet-shaped inorganic particles having an aspect ratio of at least 30. In this insulating tape, the filler is supported in advance, and does not therefore flow out during manufacture of a stator coil, for example during hot-pressing. As a result, an insulating coating exhibiting high thermal conductivity can be formed.
1. An insulating tape comprising:
a mica layer containing mica;
a reinforcing layer that is laminated onto said mica layer and contains a filler and a fibrous reinforcing material; and
a flat sheet layer that is laminated onto said reinforcing layer and contains flat sheet-shaped inorganic particles having an aspect ratio of at least 30.
2. The insulating tape according to claim 1 , wherein an average long diameter of said flat sheet-shaped inorganic particles is greater than an average particle diameter of said filler.
3. The insulating tape according to claim 1 , wherein said average long diameter of said flat sheet-shaped inorganic particles is at least 80 μm.
4. The insulating tape according to claim 1 , wherein said flat sheet-shaped inorganic particles are mica.
5. The insulating tape according to claim 1 , wherein thermal conductivity of said filler is at least 5 W/mK.
6. The insulating tape according to claim 1 , wherein said filler is boron nitride.
7. A method for producing an insulating tape, comprising:
forming a mica layer by forming a dispersion containing mica into a sheet;
forming a reinforcing layer by gluing a fibrous reinforcing material to said mica layer and then coating said fibrous reinforcing material with a slurry containing a filler; and
forming a flat sheet layer by coating said reinforcing layer with a slurry containing flat sheet-shaped inorganic particles having an aspect ratio of at least 30.
8. A stator coil comprising:
a coil conductor; and
an insulating coating including the insulating tape according to claim 1 , which is wrapped around an outer peripheral portion of said coil conductor, and integrated with said coil conductor by a resin.
9. The insulating tape according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing layer is a layer in which the filler is trapped in openings surrounded by warp threads and weft threads of the fibrous reinforcing material.
10. The method for producing an insulating tape according to claim 7 , wherein the formed reinforcing layer is a layer in which the filler is trapped in openings surrounded by warp threads and weft threads of the fibrous reinforcing material.
