Evaluation, construction and endurance testing of compression sealed pyrolytic boron nitride slot insulationA high-temperature statorette, consisting of an iron-27 percent cobalt magnetic lamination stack and nickel-clad silver conductors, was tested with pyrolytic boron nitride slot insulation. Temperatures were measured in each test to determine characteristics of slot linear heat conductance from statorette conductors. Testing was carried out to temperatures of approximately 1500 F in a vacuum environment of 10-8 torr. Three assemblies were built and tested, each having a different room temperature slot clearance. The final statorette assembly was subjected to a 100-hour vacuum aging test at 1400 F followed by 25 thermal cycles. Temperature data from the three assemblies showed that decreasing slot clearance and increasing compression loading did enhance heat transfer. The temperature difference between slot and lamination at 1400 F increased 4 F during the thermal aging and an additional 10 F during the 25 thermal cycles.
