Title :
Magnet wire enamels-which one?
Abstract :
The factors involved in the selection of a magnet wire enamel are explored. Three categories of application are discussed: motors, transformers and open coils, and encapsulated coils. Magnet wire tests are reviewed. The influence of manufacturer requirements on wire selection and the requirements for runnability of magnet wire are examined. Enamel types and their properties are tabulated. Applications of the various types are indicated.<>
