Electrical Insulation Challenges for Rotating Machines Used on Future Electric Ships

The electrification of ships coupled with a demand for very high power and energy density raises challenges for insulation system designers for this market. The physical reason the design is challenging is that the electrical, mechanical, and thermal environment on a ship is sufficiently far from the land-based environment that key parts of the data and experience base needed for insulation system design do not exist.Center for Electromechanic
