Chairman´s report NEMA magnet wire Technical Committee activities

The development of a workable, up-to-date standard requires continuous work and effort by usually a small group of dedicated, knowledgeable people working together. For magnet wire, the end result is the NEMA MW1000 document which has been constantly upgraded to reflect the latest developments and trends in magnet wire products, test procedures, and ideas on how a wire should be tested to provide the end user with the desired properties. Since the last report was given at the E/EIC meeting in Chicago in 1983, a number of significant changes have been made.
