Solution Overview

Problem

Existing insulated electric wires face issues with high partial discharge inception voltage due to the inclusion of bubbles in the insulation layer, which decreases flexibility and workability, and are prone to dielectric breakdown under high voltage conditions.

Innovation Solution

A polyimide precursor is formulated using a reaction between a diamine compound and a tetracarboxylic dianhydride compound, with specific proportions of alicyclic diamine and alicyclic tetracarboxylic dianhydride to enhance the polyimide resin film's properties, resulting in a low permittivity and high partial discharge inception voltage.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful effect of high voltage-induced partial discharge into a beneficial outcome by designing an insulation layer with controlled bubbles that actively suppress partial discharge. The bubble structure modifies the electric field distribution, transforming the high voltage stress that would normally cause degradation into a condition where partial discharge is inhibited, thereby protecting insulation durability while maintaining high power output capability.
