The present invention provides for an insulating bootfor ends of through-boltsin electric generators that comprises a shaped insulating boot. The boot has an inner surface and an outer surface and an opening, where the inner surface is substantially free of protrusions. The inner surface of the shaped bootis within 0.01 to 0.5 inches (0.025–1.3 cm) larger than the shape of the end of a through-boltto which the shaped boot will be applied. The shaped insulating boot has a breakdown voltage of at least 10 kV, and more particularly at least 30 kV, and the shaped boot is placed over the end of a through-bolt of an electric generator.
