Re: [TCML] more on paralleling

Hi Finn, all,

That's interesting about the Nomex. With 24 years as a professional
firefighter, I quickly recognize that name as the basic material that
our turnout clothing is made of. We are told that this provides an
increase in thermal protection as well as mechanical protection.
I didn't realize this was the same material that lines that transformer 
manufacturers wrap the core's and exterior of the windings with, but
it would make since. ;^)

Jon,

That "paper" is called "Nomex", it is an Aramid......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomex [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomex]

Try If you can locate the local repair shop for electrical motors, they
have it. Perhaps they will sell you a couple of square feet.

Hope this helps

Cheers, Finn Hammer


An ideal solution for this would be to use the kind of "paper" that is
used when originally winding a MOT (or other transformer). I do not
know what the name of this kind of "paper" is, but it is very tough,
thick, and highly tear resistant.

Jon
