High voltage electrical generator and windings for use therein
First Claim
1. For use in a high voltage electrical generator, a multilayer winding comprising a plurality of half-turn helical modules, each of said modules comprising a plurality of half-turn bundles of conducting bars and sheet insulation means wrapped around said bundles, said bundles of conducting members interconnected to form complete turns of said winding, the innermost bundles of each of said modules are at highest voltage potential and the outermost bundles of each of said modules are of the lowest voltage potential, whereby a generally uniform progression exists between said outermost and said innermost bundles, the sheet insulation means wrapped about said bundles providing insulation in approximate proportion to the voltage difference.

Abstract
Disclosed is a winding for a high voltage electrical generator comprising a plurality of bundles of conducting member arranged whereby highest voltage is impressed on the innermost bundle and lowest voltage is impressed on the outmost bundles. The bundles of the winding are wrapped within sheets of electrical insulation with the cumulative insulation thickness being in approximate proportion to the voltage gradient across the bundles of the winding.
