dc.description.abstractEoxy-mica insulating systems are widely used in the construction of all type of electrical machines. This kind of insulation is usually built into large machines using a "resin rich" process. This process involves the application of mica paper tapes that have been impregnated with epoxy resin. These pre-impregnated tapes are then consolidated by confining coils in molds while applying heat and pressure or by using an autoclave where the coil is vacuum and pressure treated while it is enclosed in molds and then cored. During the manufacturing processes small defects caused by irregularities or by incorrect control of pressure or temperature during the pressing and curing process can appear in the wrapping of the insulating tape. These small defects which might not be detected during the fabrication process, reduce the coil's useful life and resistance to environmental, mechanical, thermal and electric stresses applied to the machine during its industrial operation. For this reason, this paper presents a preliminary study to obtain the characteristic partial discharge patterns related to different kind of defects in test specimens of mica-epoxy insulating form-wound coils. Several finite element models have been developed in order to obtain the electric field distributions caused by different type of failures in epoxy-mica form-wound coils. The results of this study allowed the construction of a complete set of epoxy-mica specimens where the simulated failures were applied. These specimens have been later tested using partial discharge analysis in order to obtain the discharge pattern related to each type of failure.en
