Darby Electric Company uses some of the latest and most advanced insulation materials from DuPont.
Designed to help protect electric motors, transformers and generators from extremely high operating temperatures, DuPont™ Nomex® is available in a number of types and thicknesses. This variety of Nomex® formats allows engineers to adapt the materials to their customers’ products and specifications.
The combination of reliable materials and smart innovation is just what Darby’s solutions-oriented customers are looking for. “We’ve been using Nomex® since 1992 and it has proven to be a major advantage for us,” says company President Mike Darby. “We use it primarily for slot liners in our random-wound, low-voltage applications. The laminated material provides excellent mechanical strength at the end of the slot, reducing the tendency to split at the opening. The electrical properties of Nomex® allow us to use thinner material as a separator in the slot. This means reduced time in the rewind procedure.”
