Small diameter high voltage insulated electric wire
View Patent ↗A thin high-voltage insulted electric wire which comprises a conductor and an insulating layer covering the conductor, said insulating layer comprising both an ethylene-acrylic ester copolymer resin and polyethylene. The insulating layer is made of a composition which exhibits a reciprocal of the product of tensile break strength (σf) (MPa) and tensile break elongation (ε), 1/(σf·ε), of 4.8×10 −2 or less [wherein σf refers to the tensile break strength of the insulating layer and ε refers to the tensile break elongation thereof], a storage elastic modulus (E) of 520 MPA or more, and a D hardness of 45 or more.
1. A small diameter high voltage insulated electric wire including a conductor covered with an insulating layer, wherein
the insulating layer contains a copolymer resin of ethylene and acrylic ester and polyethylene,
when σf (MPa) denotes a tensile break strength and ε denotes a break elongation, the insulating layer is a composition having a product 1/(σf·ε) of the inverse of the tensile break strength σf and the inverse of the break elongation ε being 4.8×10 −2 or less, and having a value of storage elastic modulus E being 520 MPa or more, and having a D hardness being 45 or more, and
the insulating layer further contains a metal hydroxide as flame retardant.
2. The small diameter high voltage insulating electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer, contains 0 part by weight or more and 50 parts by weight or less of polyethylene, 50 parts by weight or more and 90 parts by weight or less of ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer resin, and 0 part by weight or more and 20 parts by weight or less of modified polyethylene, and 10 to 60 parts by weight of the metal hydroxide.
3. The small diameter high voltage insulating electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein the metal hydroxide is magnesium hydroxide.
