Abstract

The damage impact of mechanical shocks on stator bar insulation is a key factor in high-voltage motor accidents. This study conducted electrical aging acceleration and breakdown experiments on damaged stator insulating materials to understand failure causes and evaluation methods. The relationship between sample defect area and depth and electrical properties was analyzed, along with the morphology of the damaged surface using a scanning electron microscope. Results show that the defect area correlates with impact mode but does not directly impact electrical performance. Effective insulation thickness is positively linked to electrical performance. This study serves as a valuable reference for evaluating mechanical impact faults in high-voltage motors.
