Abstract
Abstract An electrostatic shield for an electrical transformer comprises a substantially ring-shaped inner insulator of asymmetric vertical cross-section with a side confronting a coil of the transformer being substantially planar and the remaining surface being of a curved section, a field concentration relaxation conductor formed from a conductive foil, completely surrounding the inner insulator, and a multiple outer insulator comprising at least one layer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film and at least one mica insulation layer with mica bonded to a non-conductive backing film such as glass tape or PET film by a bonding agent such as epoxy resin, whereby the dielectric strength of the electrostatic shield and hence the transformer, is substantially improved.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
An electrostatic field for an electrical transformer coil comprising a substantially ring shaped inner insulator, a field concentration relaxation conductor formed by winding a conductive foil into a sheet forming a layer completely surrounding the inner insulator, and a multiple outer insulation layer surrounding the field concentration relaxation conductor, said multiple outer insulation layer comprising at least one layer of polyethylene terephthalate film and at least one mica insulation layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
An electrostatic field for an electrical transformer coil comprising a substantially ring shaped inner insulator, a field concentration relaxation conductor formed by winding a conductive foil into a sheet forming a layer completely surrounding the inner insulator, and a multiple outer insulation layer surrounding the field concentration relaxation conductor, said multiple outer insulation layer comprising at least one layer of polyethylene terephthalate film and at least one mica insulation layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
An electrostatic shield as claimed in claim 1 wherein said multiple outer insulation layer comprises a mica insulation layer which surrounds said field concentration relaxation conductor and a polyethylene terephthalate film layer which surrounds said mica insulation layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
An electrostatic shield as claimed in claim 1 wherein said multiple outer insulation layer comprises a polyethylene terephthalate film layer which surrounds said field concentration relaxation conductor, and a mica insulation layer which surrounds said polyethylene terephthalate film layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
An electrostatic shield as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3 wherein said mica insulation layer is formed by bonding aggregate mica to a non-conductive backing film with a bonding agent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
An electrostatic shield as claimed in claim 4 wherein said non-conductive backing film is selected from a group consisting of glass tape and polyethylene terephthalate film, and said bonding agent is epoxy resin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
An electrostatic shield as claimed in claim 1 wherein said inner insulator comprises press boards of an insulating material stacked together, and is formed substantially as a ring with an asymmetric vertical cross-section with one side for confronting a coil of said transformer being substantially planar and the remaining surface being of a curved section.
