Appeal No. 1999-1942 Application 08/770,037 This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the final rejection of claims 1-16, 19, and 20. Claims 17 and 18 have been objected to. We reverse. BACKGROUND The invention relates to an insulation material suitable as groundwall insulation for a high voltage generator stator bar. The insulation material is formed of layers of resin-rich sheet material, wherein at least one of the layers is formed by a sheet material containing submicron oxide particles while at least one other is free of such oxide particles. The combination provides better voltage endurance performance than possible if the ground insulation is formed by only one of the material layers. Claim 1 is reproduced below. 1. An electrical insulating material comprising at least first and second insulating layers, the first insulating layer comprising: a mica paper having first and second surfaces on opposite sides of the mica paper; a woven fabric on the first surface of the mica paper; a resin composition permeating the woven fabric and bonding the woven fabric to the mica paper; and - 2 -Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
