Abstract :
In May this year, British researchers announced a €3m, European Union-funded project to develop ´radically innovative´ electrical insulating tapes, based on nano-materials, for high-efficiency generators. Dubbed ´ANASTASIA´, the ´advanced nanostructured tapes for electrotechnical high-power insulating applications´ project aims to replace today´s thick, semi-rigid insulating tapes with thinner, flexible version. These would have a higher field-strength and better thermal stability.
