Roebel bars
Mechanically produced Roebel bars are a guarantee of quality, precision and cost reduction.
Roebel bars
As early as 1977, ASTA developed a method of mechanizing the manufacture of Roebel bars similar to the manufacture of CTCs.
A special type of enamel-glass yarn insulation has permitted economic production of all standard sizes; the extra cross over insulation hitherto required at the transposition areas could be dropped in most cases.
While conventional Roebel bars usually contain an even number of strips, the mechanically preassembled type may also be made from odd numbers, with the added benefit of increasing the copper cross section by one strip within the same stack size.
Machine-made Roebel bars thus combine the advantages of savings in cost and time, better space factor, and high dielectric strength. Further detailed information is available on request.
