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.
