Method for repairing the electric insulation layers between pieces of sheet metal of sheet metal segments of electric generators and motors
In a method for repairing electric insulation layers between sheet metal pieces of sheet metal segments of electric generators or motors, wherein between two neighboring sheet metal pieces an electric insulation is arranged, two neighboring sheet metal pieces are spread apart by introducing a tool for generating a permanent channel-shaped intermediate space between the two neighboring sheet metal pieces. Into the intermediate space, a curable, electrically insulating insulation material as an electric insulator is forced.
1. A method for repairing electric insulation layers between sheet metal pieces of sheet metal segments of electric generators or electric motors, wherein between two neighboring sheet metal pieces an electric insulation is arranged, the method comprising the steps of:
a) spreading apart two neighboring sheet metal pieces by introducing a tool for generating a permanent channel-shaped intermediate space between the two neighboring sheet metal pieces;
b) inserting at least one electric insulation body into the intermediate space for spacing apart the two sheet metal pieces and subsequently forcing into the intermediate space a curable, electrically insulating insulation material as an electric insulator.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one electric insulation body is a mica platelet.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein two of the at least one electric insulation body are inserted on opposed sides of the channel-shaped intermediate space, respectively.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one electric insulation body is strip-shaped.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one electric insulation body has a tapering leading end in a direction of insertion.
6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of coating the at least one electric insulation body with a curable adhesive material before the step of inserting.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the adhesive material is the curable, electrically insulating insulation material.
8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the adhesive material is heated to effect curing.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the curable, electrically insulating insulation material is heated to effect curing.
10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising, before the step b), the step of rinsing the channel-shaped intermediate spaces with a rinsing medium.
11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the rinsing medium is alcohol.
12. A method for repairing electric insulation layers between sheet metal pieces of sheet metal segments of electric generators or electric motors, wherein between two neighboring sheet metal pieces an electric insulation is arranged, the method comprising the steps of:

b) forcing into the intermediate space a curable, electrically insulating insulation material as an electric insulator;
wherein in the step of b) an injection head is used that is secured tightly against an end face of the sheet metal segment and covers several of the intermediate spaces of the sheet metal segment.
13. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising, before the step b), the step of rinsing the channel-shaped intermediate spaces with a rinsing medium.
14. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising, before the step b), the step of inserting at least one electric insulation body into the intermediate space for spacing apart the two sheet metal pieces.
15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the at least one electric insulation body is a mica platelet.
16. The method according to claim 14 , wherein two of the at least one electric insulation body are inserted on opposed sides of the channel-shaped intermediate space, respectively.
17. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the at least one electric insulation body is strip-shaped.
18. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the at least one electric insulation body has a tapering leading end in a direction of insertion.
19. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising the step of coating the at least one electric insulation body with a curable adhesive material before the step of inserting.
20. The method according to claim 19 , wherein the adhesive material is the curable, electrically insulating insulation material.
