What types of motor insulation paper are there?

Motor insulation paper, also known as motor insulation material, plays a vital role in the insulation of motors. There are many types of motor insulation paper, each designed for specific applications and insulation requirements. Here are some common types:

Nomex paper:

Nomex paper is a high-temperature resistant insulation material made from aramid fibers. It has excellent thermal stability and is often used in applications where motors operate at high temperatures.

​

Polyester Film (Polyester Film):

Mylar or polyester film is a widely used insulating material in electric motors. It has good electrical insulating properties and is often used in combination with other materials in laminated insulation systems.

Fish paper (vulcanized fiber):

Fish paper or vulcanized fiber is a durable and flexible insulation material. It is commonly used for slot liners, wedges and other components in motors.

​

Insulating cardboard:

Insulating cardboard is an insulating material made from compressed wood fibers. Due to its excellent dielectric properties, it is used in the construction of transformer coils and motor components.

​

Crepe paper:

Crepe paper is an insulating paper that has a wrinkled or wrinkled texture. It is commonly used in transformers and motor applications, providing good consistency and flexibility.

​

Kraft paper:

Kraft paper is a strong and flexible insulation material made from wood pulp. It is usually impregnated with oil or resin to enhance dielectric strength and used for insulation of motor coils.

​

Diamond dot paper:

Diamond-shaped dotted paper is an insulating paper coated with diamond-shaped epoxy resin dots on one or both sides. It is used for layer insulation in transformers and motors, providing extra strength and reliability.

​

Polyimide film (Kapton):

Polyimide film, commonly known as Kapton, is a high temperature resistant, flexible insulating material. It is used in applications requiring extreme temperatures and high performance insulation.

​

Fiberglass insulation paper:

Fiberglass insulation paper is impregnated with resin and reinforced with fiberglass. It has good mechanical strength and is suitable for motors requiring high temperatures and mechanical stress.
