We Enable Energy
As one of the oldest industrial companies in Switzerland, founded in 1803, we focus on
products and systems for power generation, transmission and distribution, rotating machi-
nes and mechanical engineering. Von Roll is the global market leader for insulation products
and the only company to offer the complete range of insulation products, composites,
consulting, tests and services for electrical machines such as turbo and hydro generators.
For more than 100 years, we have been making outstanding contributions to this market,
developing a number of highly innovative products that have enabled both steady increases
in power output and more compact machines.
Von Roll is committed to creating added value for its customers with the insulating materials
and processes used in state-of-the-art electrical high-voltage motors as well as small
generators with similar design. We offer the solutions you need for higher performance and
reliability together with low manufacturing costs. No matter what the precise requirements of
your machines, we have materials that will suit them using
either resin-rich (RR) or vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) technologies.
Von Roll has developed a VPI insulation system, under the name Samicabond®,
with a number of distinct advantages:
» Resins with high tank stability at room temperature
» Imperviousness to moisture
» Low viscosity
» Fast curing with non-accelerated mica tapes
» Excellent electrical properties
» Class H
» Very high price/quality ratio
This document introduces the main products associated with this system.

Samicafilm® tapes show excellent corona resistance, although they are thin.
Conductors
Von Roll offers a complete range of high-quality conductors for high-voltage coils:
» Covered wires with impregnated glass yarn (Silix®)
» Covered wires with mixed glass/polyester yarn (Daglas®), with or without coating
» Samicafilm® tape-covered wires
» Flat rolled Litz wires with bare or enameled single conductors, covered with
Samicafilm® tape
Insulating Systems for High-Voltage Rotating Machines 5
Samicafilm® tapes are applied butt-lapped or overlapped to the conductor. We supply both
tape and taped conductors to our customers.

the requirements of main wall and end-winding insulation, namely:
» High dielectric strength
» Corona discharge resistance
» Fast and easy impregnation
» Resin retention without draining
» Smooth application without creasing
» Both manual and fast-running machine application
» Full compatibility with predefined resin systems
Von Roll’s commitment to mica starts with mining and ends with finished tapes.
