Application

Pressboard is a classic insulating material for electrical equipment and is commonly used in transformers, but also in electrical motors at reduced thermal loads. Application ranges from slot insulation for stators and rotors, through wedges in electric motors to core, interlayer and final insulation for transformers.

Standards

  • Class A (105 °C) insulating material acc. IEC 60085 / VDE 0530 part 1
  • Test standard IEC 60641-2
  • Sample conditioning according to standard atmosphere 23/50
