Abstract:

An insulation system and method are disclosed for insulating formed coils of electrical machines, such as motors and generators. The system includes strand/turn insulation that may include one or more layers of different materials, depending upon the dielectric requirements. A ground wall insulation is applied over the group of turns. The coil may be sized in a slot cell section. Additional insulation layers are provided, including a slot corona suppression insulation that extends just beyond stator slots, a voltage grading layer, and an armor layer. The resulting system is highly adaptable to different machine designs and ratings, and affords superior resistance to degradation.

Abstract:

A computer-based system that manages the shipment of one or more freight units includes a measuring system for measuring dimensions and weight of a freight unit, wherein the freight unit includes products, a database for storing rules for shipping freight, and a host computer system. The host computer system is for receiving information about the freight unit to be shipped, determining whether the products of the freight unit should be classified as density-based for a shipping rate determination, determining a density-based class of the freight unit, determining whether the linear feet parameter for the freight unit exceeds a predetermined threshold value, receiving a selection input for a selected carrier from the one or more carriers displayed on the web site, and upon receipt of the selection input for the selected carrier, creating a bill of lading.
