Downsizing has become essential in the development of motors recently in order to meet requirements related to environmental issues such as resource depletion and energy shortages. To fulfill these demands, we propose downsizing techniques for a conventional motor where a solid insulation system is hired and a large amount of insulation resin was employed to replace structural metal materials used in conventional motors.
This paper deals with a feasibility study of a solid insulation system applied downsized motor. The optimal heat design, mechanically stable structure, and proper insulation resin are proposed and discussed. A prototype motor was manufactured, and results of a basic insulation test, temperature rise test and noise test are presented.
