Abstract
An insulating cap is provided for an end winding of an electrical machine working at a high voltage, the end winding including a plurality of insulated winding bars protruding from respective winding slots and electrically conductively connected to one another in pairs at their ends so as to form a plurality of electrical connections. The cap includes an opening allowing the insulating cap to be pushed over a region of one of the electrical connections such that the insulating cap insulates an outside of the electrical connection. An interior includes a layer configured to gradually dissipate a high electrical field in the region of the electrical connection to an outside of the insulating cap, the outside of the insulating cap being at earth potential.
