Name of fabric insulator found inside motors












2














What is the name of the fabric sleeve insulator used for components (typically fuses) and solder joints found inside motor windings?



Can regular heat shrink tubing be used as a substitute?

This is called sleeving. In this case it looks like uncoated NOMEX, but the specific brand might vary.

This is applied in electromotors and generators where this fiberglass-like sleeving is impregnated with insulating lacquer or resin during dip-sealing or vacuum impregnation.



This material is used because it can handle high temperatures and is not flammable. It also has a much higher kV/mm than regular heat shrink.



In fact, heat-shrink degrades rather quickly, and can becomes actually conductive, and is typically avoided when long term insulation is required.
Hence why heat-shrink is more a low voltage repair material.



If you are not going to use lacquer or impregnation I suggest you look for coated fiberglass sleeve. This is coated with polyurethane or acrylic.
A brand name of this could be Vidaflex.
