Abstract

Siemens power generation uses flat conductive laminate to aid in the wedging of stator coils for specific turbine generator stator winding designs. The laminate material must provide critical electrical, mechanical and thermal properties to properly function. This paper describes testing and interpretation of material test results for conductive laminate materials used as stator slot filler. The stator coil designs are gas-cooled using either hydrogen or air depending on the generator design
