view source
US Patent:

40355217, Jul 12, 1977
Filed:

Aug 10, 1976
Appl. No.:

5/713174
Inventors:

Dean C. Westervelt - Acme PA
Robert E. Pierce - Abingdon VA
Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corporation - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:

B05B 502
US Classification:

427 32
Abstract:

A build control is disclosed, for controlling the thickness of a coating on different sides of an elongated member such as a wire. The build control is a tube which is positioned around the wire as the wire passes through a fluidized powder. The end of the tube which is in the fluidized powder is notched so that the build of powder on each of the sides of the elongated member is more or less than would otherwise result.

Filed:

Jul 18, 1980
Appl. No.:

6/171932
Inventors:

Nancy W. Carlson - Murrysville PA
Dean C. Westervelt - Acme PA
Luciano C. Scala - Murrysville PA
Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corp. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:

C25D 1306
C25D 1310
C25D 1316
US Classification:

204181R
Abstract:

An imide containing polymeric coating is electrophoretically formed on wire from an emulsion. The emulsion contains a polymer, an organic aprotic solvent for the polymer, an amine, and a polar precipitant in which the polymer is insoluble. The wire is passed through a conductive tube immersed in the solvent while a D. C. current is applied between the tube and the wire. The polymer coating on the wire is then cured.

C to 250. degree. C, forming a discontinuous, 0. 25 mil to 25 mil (0. 006 mm to 0. 635 mm) thick, dry coating pattern of heat reactive adhesive particles bonded to the sheet material, said heat reactive adhesive coating covering from about 10 percent to 90 percent of the sheet material area; the patterned coated sheet may then be inserted as an oil permeable layer insulation between high voltage windings and low voltage windings and between layers of high and low voltage windings in a wound coil assembly, after which the assembly can be heated at a temperature and for a time effective to securely bond the winding layers together, and thus provide a porous, oil permeable, bonded transformer coil assembly.

US Patent:

45547300, Nov 26, 1985
Filed:

Jan 9, 1984
Appl. No.:

6/569069
Inventors:

Dean C. Westervelt - Acme PA
Thomas M. Burke - Whitehall PA
Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corp. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:

H01F 306
US Classification:

29605
Abstract:

Methods of constructing a void-free, cellulose-free electrical winding insulated with a solid resinous insulation. The method includes forming a plurality of conductor turns on a substrate, with each conductor turn being immersed in liquid resinous insulation as it is formed, to provide a void-free intermediate structure. The void-free aspect of the intermediate structure is maintained up to and including the final step of the method by building solid insulation, thin layer upon thin layer, from the liquid resinous insulation, while the conductor turns are being formed, with the solid insulation, as it is formed, providing a solid substrate for the continued application of liquid resinous insulation and subsequent conductor turns of the winding.

Westinghouse Electric Corporation - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:

B08B 310
B08B 312
C25F 100
US Classification:

Abstract:

Wire is cleaned by passing it through an electrolytic cleaner then through an ultrasonic rinse. The electrolytic cleaner comprises a graphite tube through which the wire passes, an alkaline aqueous solution between the wire and the graphite tube, and an electric current, at least half D. C. , between the wire and the graphite tube.

US Patent:

51549549, Oct 13, 1992
Filed:

Mar 19, 1990
Appl. No.:

7/501292
Inventors:

Edward J. Croop - Pittsburg PA
Thomas S. Snyder - Oakmont PA
Dean C. Westervelt - Acme PA
Assignee:

AEG Westinghouse Transportation Systems, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:

A47G 1922
US Classification:

428 345
Abstract:

Electrical insulation which has good dielectric strength, good radiation resistance, and good thermal resistance at temperatures of up to 500. degree. C. and, preferably up to 1700. degree. C. , includes a substrate which is flexible, has the form of a filament, sheet, wrapper, tape or sleeve, and consists essentially of inorganic materials selected from the group consisting of inorganic fibers and metals, metalloids, or alloys; and at least one layer of at least one oxide of an alkoxide-forming element provided on the substrate to impregnate and/or coat same. The insulation is prepared by a process including applying a solution containing an alkoxy gel polymer, optionally additionally containing at least one inorganic material in finely divided form, to the substrate to provide a treated substrate useful as a preform when allowed to set under ambient conditions. The preform is applied to a part by, for example, wrapping, and is heated to pyrolyze the alkoxy gel polymer to its oxide and provide electrical insulation consisting essentially of inorganic materials. The application and pyrolysis steps may be repeated to build up the thickness of the at least one oxide.
