Generators used in wind turbines are subject to some of the harshest conditions that a generator can be used in, especially if used in or near salt water. The stators must be protected with materials that will stand up not only to the elements but to the current involved as well. Epic Resins holds the compounding knowledge and experience to custom formulate epoxy compound and polyurethane for inverters able to withstand these harshest conditions and demanding properties.
Below are a few examples of the materials Epic Resins manufactures for generators used in wind energy applications. From custom formulated epoxy compounds for the encapsulation of stator end windings to epoxy compounds used as a wet-winding/brushing compound for rotating or field coils, Epic Resins formulates epoxy resins and polyurethanes specifically for inverters and wind energy applications.
Epic 0147 Single Component Thixotropic Epoxy Compound
Epic 0147 is a rigid, single component, thixotropic epoxy compound. It features a long shelf life, controlled thixotrophy, and excellent electrical and physical properties. It is designed for the encapsulation and impregnation of form wound coils and stator end windings through the use of vacuum/pressure impregnation.
Epic 0131 - Epoxy Resin Compound
Epic 0131 is a 100% reactive heat cure epoxy resin compound possessing a high heat deflection temperature, excellent electrical and heat transfer properties, as well as a long shelf life. It can be used as a wet-winding/brushing compound for rotating or field coils which require high bond strength.
