Visando determinar os valores ótimos para o processo de serramento de anéis bobinados de filme metalizado ultrafino de alumínio com dielétrico de poliéster a partir das condições atuais do processo de fabricação de capacitores pela empresa Epcos do Brasil, realizou-se a avaliação de diferentes tipos de serras circulares variando-se a velocidade de rotação (n) e o tempo de corte (tc). Desenvolvido projeto de experimento desses três fatores a fim de obter o resultado das interações entre eles quanto à resistência de isolamento (Riso) das peças cortadas. A serra de 160 dentes de metal-duro com revestimento de filme de carbono tipo diamante (DLC) apresentou os melhores resultados quanto à “Riso” acima de 0,378 G e quanto ao número de peças com valor abaixo deste. Constatou-se que “n” não influencia significativamente para a distribuição de “Riso”; porém, gera menos peças abaixo do especificado. Já “tc” não influencia significativamente o processo. Quanto ao tipo de dente, o perfil reto obteve melhor resultado para lâminas de serra com 80 dentes e perfil curvo para lâminas com 160 dentes. Já a espessura da lâmina não influenciou de forma expressiva o processo. A lâmina de aço-rápido apresentou adesão de alumínio na lateral do corpo da serra e, consequentemente, adesão de material na superfície de corte. As lâminas de metal-duro sem revestimento apresentaram falhas no filme metalizado por causa do atrito gerado entre a superfície de corte e a lateral da lâmina; esse inconveniente é eliminado quando ela é revestida com filme DLC apresentando melhorias quanto à “Riso” das peças para “n” menores. Também houve adesão de alumínio na parte inferior do dente devido a uma delaminação da camada de filme DLC. / In order to determine the optimal values for the sawing process of wound rings of metalized ultra-thin film with dielectric of polyester from current conditions of capacitor manufacturing process by Epcos company in Brazil, it was performed the evaluation of different types of circular saws varying the rotational speed (n) and the cutting time (tc). Developed experiment design methodology for these three factors in order to get the result of the interactions between them regarding to the insulation resistance (Riso) of cut parts. Through the analysis of the main effects, the cemented carbide saw with 160 teeth and diamond-like carbon (DLC) film coating showed the best results in terms of "Riso" above 0,378 G and regarding to the number of parts with value below the specified. It was found that "n" does not influence significantly the distribution of "Riso"; however, generates fewer parts below the specified. Now "tc" does not significantly influence the process. Regarding the tooth type, straight profile obtained better results for saw blades with 80 teeth and curved profile for blades with 160 teeth. However the thickness of the blade did not influence significantly the process. The high speed steel blade presented adhesion of aluminum on the side of the saw body and, consequently, adhesion of material on the cutting surface. The cemented carbide blades uncoated presented failures on metalized film because of the friction generated between the cutting surface and the side of the blade; this drawback is eliminated when it is coated with DLC film presenting improvements to the parts "Riso" for lower "n". There was also aluminum adhesion on the bottom of the tooth due to a delamination of the DLC film layer.

This dissertation thesis deals with the measurement of insulation resistance for rotating electrical machines and polarization indices calculated from them. The first part contains a short theoretical introduction, methods of measurement and basic formulas for calculations. The second part discusses the results obtained in laboratory measurements in both the model and the real coil of high voltage machine. There are also elucidated some of the principles and causes of some phenomena with which the measurement of insulation resistance is encountered. The third part deals with the results of measurements on real machines. There are mainly discussed the dependences of insulation resistance and polarization index on the influences that occur in measurements such as temperature measured insulation, moisture in the insulation, but also the influence of measuring instruments on the measured values. It is also expressed how much these factors affect the measurement results. In addition, this part deals with some other influences that have a negative affect on the measurement of insulation resistance. There is processed a new methodology for measuring insulation resistence in the fourth part of this thesis. The need to develop a metodology of measuring is based on the needs of engineering practice, where is considerable inconsistency of measurement in the present time. Measurement, and often performed on the same machine, are not nowadays often comparable, because measurements are not met even the basic rules resulting from the findings of research and development, which were discovered in the last few decades. Measurement of insulation resistance in our nowdays methodology stagnated on the level of the seventies of 20th century. For this reason, we have developed a new methodology of measurement that takes into account all significant influences affecting the measurement. The purpose of the methodology is to ensure full repeatability and comparability of measurements not only on the same machine but on machines of the same type, in optimal cases, the machines of different types. There are the chapters "The objectives of the work" and "Conclusion" the part of the work. A very important chapter is "The contribution of thesis", which summarizes the original results of this work and results, the use of which is expected in engineering practice.
