FG Slot Wedges

Insulation: One of the primary functions of fiberglass slot wedges is to provide insulation within the slots of the stator or rotor in electrical machines. These slots are where the windings are placed, and the wedges help to insulate and protect the windings from each other and from the core of the machine. Phase Separation: In machines with multiple phases (such as three-phase motors), slot wedges help to maintain separation between the windings of different phases. This prevents electrical short circuits between phases and ensures proper functioning of the machine. Mechanical Support: Fiberglass slot wedges also provide mechanical support to the windings within the slots, helping to hold them securely in place. This support prevents movement or deformation of the windings, which could lead to damage or inefficiencies in the operation of the machine. Thermal Management: Fiberglass is known for its thermal insulation properties. Slot wedges made from fiberglass help to dissipate heat generated during the operation of the machine, thereby contributing to the thermal management of the equipment.
