CALMICAFAB 3293, 3294

(V 5, 10.07.2007)

Description
CALMICAFAB 3293 and CALMICAFAB 3294 consist of mica paper based on calcined muscovite, a special glass cloth and a
thermosetting epoxy-novolac. CALMICAFAB 3293 and CALMICAFAB 3294 are very flexible glass mica paper combinations,
which can be easily wrapped in full width by hand or taped on automatic taping machines.
After curing in a hot press an insulation with excellent dielectric, thermal, mechanical and chemical properties is obtained. Due
to the special glass cloth the thermal, electrical and mechanical properties of the final insulation are even further increased
compared to the very good properties of standard CALMICAGLAS tapes.
Depending on the design of the coils and bars an electric field strength of up to 3.5 kV/mm in service is possible.
The improved flexibility gives better taping without wrinkles in the overhang and allows faster taping of coils and bars.

Application
CALMICAFAB 3293 and CALMICAFAB 3294 are used for the insulation of bars and coils of motors and generators up to
highest output and highest nominal voltage. The preheating cycle at minimum pressure (< 0.3 N/mm ),
of the bars or coils, is given from 20 minutes at 135 C up to 5 minutes at 160 C. Please note, that a fast ascent of pressure
can influence the laminating quality. Kneading is not recommended. Curing is possible up to 180 C in combination with
release-film VOTAFILM 2646 or shrink-release film VOTAFILM 2645 for rounded corners.
CALMICAFAB 3294 is interleaved and is especially used when temperatures > 30 C may occur during transportation or
storage.
