Patent ID: 7268293

Claim:
An insulation tape lapped around an electrical object comprising: an insulation tape that is surface coated with a high thermal conductivity layer, wherein said high thermal conductivity layer is coated on at least a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side surface of said insulation tape; an electrical object lapped by said insulation tape, wherein said insulation tape provides electrical insulation to said electrical object, and wherein said electrical object produces heat; wherein the lapping of said insulation tape form an overlap such that a portion of a top surface of said tape in a first lap is contacted by at least a portion of a bottom surface of said tape in a next lap forming an interface between said first lap and said next lap; wherein heat from said electrical object travels through said insulation tape to said interface, and wherein said high thermal conductivity layer acts to rapidly disperse heat along said interface and to said next lap.
