IOM Loco-Fenella
Wheel Insulation - Part 2. Once expoxy is applied as shown the assembly is baked for about 20 mins at 100 deg. The rear face of the wheel is then machined which removes the little spacing ridge (as shown in part 1). The cured expoxy now forms an insulation ring between tyre and inner wheel. Initial testing with a multimeter can check for ' no short'. I have a megger(insulation tester) which can then test at 500V and 1000V. All 4 wheels OK.
