High Performance Patented Film Faced Mica Tapes

Isovolta Inc./US Samica's High Performance Patented film faced mica tapes are designed for use in dip and bake, VPI and press cured applications. They are soft, conformable and well bonded, which allows for high speed taping on even the smallest coil configuration.

These unique mica based tapes are in use as primary and secondary insulation in AC and DC motors and generators up to 7,000 volts.

Isovolta Inc./US Samica's 12102 and 12104 tape's have been successfully used for "soft end" coils in 13.8 kV applications. A flexible brushing varnish or shrinkable armor tape is used for additional security against contamination and moisture on these designs.

12102 and 12104 tapes contain a unique B-staged elastomeric resin system that cures to a tough rubber-like polymer that creates a tight conformable layer-to-layer insulation with outstanding electrical properties.

Voltage Endurance Tests - 12102 Tape

    1. 5 iron bars 30mm × 10mm × 1000mm
    2. Tape with 12102 half lapped.
    3. Tape was not coated or impregnated
    4. A 2mm wall (50.8 mils).
    5. Voltage stress - 15 kV.
One bar failed at 7,821 hours. All four remaining bars continued to be electrically stressed for 9,000 hours with no failures, at which time the test was discontinued.
