Characterization of Classical and Extruded Enamelled Wires

Insulated wires are components of devices employed in different applications, such as in the automobile and aerospace industries, and renewable generation equipment (e. g. wind power). The interest in improving magnet wires is relevant to the industry sector, especially for electrical machine winding [1] , [2] . The performance of magnetic wires is fundamentally dependent on the quality of their Electrical Insulation System (EIS). Further knowledge of insulation properties may point to ways of improving this. Several properties as mechanical, thermal, chemical, and electrical must be considered for the manufacturing of magnet wires. Some standards establish protocols for the evaluation of those properties, such as IEC 60317-0-1 [3] .
