Abstract: An electric component for an electric machine includes a body having slots defined therein, and a conductive winding extending out of axial end(s) of the slot(s). The electric component may include any electric machine component having conductive windings, e.g., a stator for a generator. The electric component includes a resin dam around the conductive winding at axial end(s) of the slot(s). The resin dam blocks liquid communication through at least a space between the conductive winding and an inner surface of the slot(s), during manufacture. The electric component also includes a (solidified) insulating resin in the slot(s) and against the resin dam(s) at the axial end(s) of the slot(s). Any number of the conductive windings and slots may include a resin dam, e.g., one, some or all. The resin dams ensure complete filling of the slots and encapsulation of the conductive windings.

Abstract: A method of electrically insulating a conductive component for an electric machine includes applying a first dielectric material, by dispersion coating, to the conductive component to define a first dielectric coating. The method also includes applying a second dielectric material, by electrostatic coating, to define a second dielectric coating. The first dielectric coating and the second dielectric coating can then be cured.

Abstract: An insulative assembly includes an insulative mica-based carrier film and first and second resistive grading layers joined to opposite sides of the mica-based carrier film. The first resistive material layer is configured to engage one or more conductors and insulate the one or more conductors from at least one other conductor. A method for creating an insulative assembly for one or more conductors includes obtaining an insulative mica-based carrier film, depositing a first resistive grading layer on a first side of the mica-based carrier film, and depositing a second resistive grading layer on an opposite, second first side of the mica-based carrier film.
