A groundwall insulation system for use in dynamoelectric machines carrying voltage above 4 kV, and preferably in the order of 13.8 kV, or higher has two layers of insulation wound onto the conductors of the high voltage winding. The first layer of insulation has a first permittivity that is greater then the permittivity of the second layer of insulation wound onto the first layer of insulation. As a consequence, at the juncture between the first and second layers there is a sharp increase in the electric field profile as seen through the groundwall insulation.
