In the field of modern electrical insulation materials, NMN and AMA composite insulation papers are recognized as two high-performance options, widely used in various motors, electrical equipment, and advanced systems. They differ significantly in terms of structural composition, thermal resistance class, and application scenarios. Understanding these distinctions helps engineers make more scientific and cost-effective choices in practical applications. This article systematically compares the two materials from three aspects: structural composition, performance characteristics, and typical applications.
AMA Composite Insulation Paper: A three-layer composite material, formed by bonding polyester film with adhesive and laminating it with aramid paper on both sides. This structure combines the high heat resistance and good mechanical toughness of aramid paper with the high dielectric strength of polyester film.
NMN Composite Insulation Paper (commonly referred to as NOMEX® composite paper): Typically consists of two layers of polyester film with an intermediate fiber paper layer. The fiber paper provides mechanical reinforcement, while the polyester film ensures high electrical insulation performance.
Heat resistance: Long-term operating temperature up to 200°C.
Flame retardant and high-voltage resistant: Good resistance to fire and electrical stress.
Strong mechanical toughness: Aramid paper base offers excellent tear resistance and flexibility.
High dielectric strength: Polyester film layer significantly enhances insulation and voltage endurance.
Excellent insulation performance: Maintains stable electrical properties even in high-temperature environments.
Heat resistance: Withstand continuous operation at 220°C, with even higher short-term resistance.
Good abrasion resistance: Double-sided polyester film structure provides superior surface wear resistance.
Long service life: Stable comprehensive performance, suitable for long-term operating conditions.
Based on performance differences, NMN and AMA insulation papers have distinct application areas:
▶ NMN Insulation Paper (for high reliability, high temperature, and harsh environments):
H-class and above motors/generators: Such as hoisting motors, metallurgical motors, explosion-proof motors, and marine motors;
Dry-type transformers: Used for interlayer insulation and slot insulation;
New energy vehicle drive motors: Where heat resistance, vibration resistance, and reliability requirements are extremely high, NMN is the mainstream choice;
Electrical equipment: Used as insulation liners, spacers, and bushings.
▶ AMA Insulation Paper (for conventional temperature, high-frequency, and cost-sensitive applications):
Small and medium-sized motors/electrical appliances: Such as household appliances (washing machines, air conditioners, fans, etc.) with E-class or B-class insulation, commonly used as slot insulation and liner insulation;
High-frequency electrical equipment: Thanks to its low dielectric loss, AMA is suitable for circuit board isolation and coil formers in devices such as televisions and radios.
Suitable for conditions involving high temperatures, heavy loads, strong vibrations, or harsh environments (such as humidity or chemical corrosion). Although NMN is more expensive, it ensures long service life and safety, making it the preferred choice for new energy vehicles and high-end industrial motors.
Suitable for scenarios such as household appliances, where operating temperatures are not extreme and cost is a major factor. In some applications that demand excellent high-frequency electrical performance, AMA even has irreplaceable advantages.
AMA and NMN insulation papers each have unique strengths in terms of structural design, performance features, and application domains. AMA, with its aramid paper base, excels in mechanical toughness, flame resistance, and voltage endurance. NMN, reinforced with dual polyester film layers, offers superior heat resistance and abrasion resistance.
In practical selection, it is recommended to consider the operating temperature, mechanical strength, and insulation class required by the specific application. Correct material selection not only enhances equipment performance but also extends service life, providing a solid guarantee for the safe and stable operation of electrical systems.
