Figeholm Elboard® HDLC
Material specifications
High-Density Laminated Presboard
Hitachi Energy’s Figeholm Elboard®
HDLC is High Density Laminated
Pressboard built up by a special recipe
of the Figeholm Elboard® HD Board and
laminated with Casein glue. Its excellent
electrical and mechanical properties
makes it the perfect choice in all high
voltage appliances.
Hitachi Energy’s Figeholm Elboard® HDLC offers the best
dielectric properties when compared to other pressboard
laminates e. g. polyester glued laminate.
Figeholm Elboard® HDLC is preferable to use were the
highest electrical stresses occur in the transformer,
since the casein glue possesses dielectric properties
similar to transformer oil, thus evening out the
electric fields.
Casein glue is water based, implying a higher moisture
content of the laminate than for polyester glued laminate.
Diffusion of moisture and oil impregnation across
the lamination is possible, making the final processing
easier. The laminate is manufactured according to the IEC
standards and can be provided in maximum size of
4100 × 3100 mm with a maximum thickness of 200 mm.
