Abstract

Cellulose fibers are impregnated with polyethyleneimine so that the impregnation forms a type of network, which can reduce the specific resistance of the cellulose material owing to the electrical conductivity of the network. The cellulose material can thereby be advantageously adapted to use as electrical insulation of transformers, the cellulose material in this case being soaked in transformer oil. An adaptation of the specific resistance of the cellulose material to the specific resistance of the oil lead to improved dielectric strength of the transformer insulation. A method for impregnation of the cellulose material is described.

Claims (19)

1. A cellulose material, comprising:

multiple stacked plies, each ply comprising cellulose fibers with an impregnation of polyethyleneimine,

ionomers of the polyethyleneimine impregnation in each ply cross-linked in polymerized form to adjacent plies, and

the cellulose material having an electrical conductivity in a same order of magnitude as transformer oil.

2. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cellulose fibers are also impregnated with particles of titanium oxide.

3. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the polyethyleneimine is appended to the particles of titanium oxide.

4. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the cellulose material has a specific resistivity of 10 12 Ωm.

5. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the cellulose material is flat and has a uniform concentration of the polyethyleneimine throughout.

6. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the cellulose material is flat and has a uniform concentration of the polyethyleneimine throughout.

7. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cellulose material has a specific resistivity of 10 12 Ωm.

8. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the cellulose material is flat and has a uniform concentration of the polyethyleneimine throughout.

9. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cellulose material is flat and has a uniform concentration of the polyethyleneimine throughout.

10. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cellulose material has a specific resistivity of 10 12 Ωm.

11. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the cellulose material is flat and has a uniform concentration of the polyethyleneimine throughout.

12. The cellulose material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cellulose material is flat and has a uniform concentration of the polyethyleneimine throughout.

13. Insulation for a transformer containing transformer oil, comprising:

multiple stacked plies, each ply comprising cellulose fibers impregnated with polyethyleneimine,

ionomers of the polyethyleneimine impregnation in each ply cross-linked in polymerized form to adjacent plies, and

the insulation having an electrical conductivity in a same order of magnitude as the transformer oil in the transformer.
