Plastics for reliable electrical insulation parts
Once in operation, every wind turbine will need a high-performance and reliable electrical system. Generators, transformers and switchgear always must be coordinated with the planned output and build of the facility. We will help you in construction with our composites: They have been used in the electrical industry for more than 60 years. Electrically, mechanically and thermally highly resilient, they will enable you to develop reliable generators, transformers and switchgear with a high operating safety.

- High operating safety
- Long service life
- Flame-retardant
- High electrical resilience
- High mechanical resilience
- High thermal resilience
Typical areas of application
- Onshore wind turbines
- Offshore wind turbines
- Small wind turbines
Product examples
Parts for generators
Depending on the output and the design, wind turbines use synchronous or asynchronous generators. With Durostone® (GFRP), we offer a material with outstanding electrical and mechanical properties to increase reliability and operational safety of your generators. Typical parts include slot wedges, slot inserts and winding head support rings. More on our parts and materials for generators
Parts for transformers
Transformers must be operationally safe and reliable even at high usage temperatures and high electrical stress. We offer Durostone®, Lignostone® Transformerwood and Trafoboard® - materials specifically developed for these requirements. They meet the highest dielectrical and thermal requirements. Some of these materials have been used in transformers for more than 60 years. They will help you in construction of high-performance and operationally safe transformers.
