Abstract

An insulated wire containing: at least one thermosetting resin layer; and at least one thermoplastic resin layer, provided in this order on a conductor having a rectangular cross-section, a curvature radius r of corner portions at both edges of at least one short side of the conductor being 0.6 mm or less, in which thickness t 1 of the corner portion of the thermosetting resin layer and thickness t 2 of the corner portion of the thermoplastic resin layer satisfy a relation expressed by the following Formula 1: t 2/ t 1<1;  Formula 1: and a method of producing thereof, a motor coil, and an electric/electronic equipment.

Claims (19)

1. An insulated wire comprising:

at least one thermosetting resin layer; and

at least one thermoplastic resin layer,

wherein the at least one thermosetting resin layer and the at least one thermoplastic resin layer are provided as an insulating layer in this order on a conductor having a rectangular cross-section, a curvature radius r of corner portions at both edges of at least one short side of the conductor being 0.6 mm or less,

wherein at least one resin constituting the thermoplastic resin layer is a thermoplastic resin selected from the group consisting of a polyether ether ketone, a modified polyether ether ketone, a thermoplastic polyimide, polyamideimide, and an aromatic polyimide,

wherein thickness t 1 of the corner portion of the thermosetting resin layer and thickness t 2 of the corner portion of the thermoplastic resin layer satisfy a relation expressed by the following Formula 1:

t 2/ t 1<1.  Formula 1:

2. The insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein the curvature radius r of the corner portion is 0.4 mm or less and t 1 and t 2 satisfy a relation expressed by the following Formula 2:

t 2/ t 1≤0.7.  Formula 2:

3. The insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein t 1 is 50 μm or more.

4. The insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein a tensile modulus at 25° C. of the thermosetting resin layer is larger than a tensile modulus at 25° C. of the thermoplastic resin layer.

5. The insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between the tensile modulus at 25° C. of the thermosetting resin layer and the tensile modulus at 25° C. of the thermoplastic resin layer is 250 MPa or more and the tensile modulus at 25° C. of the thermoplastic resin layer is more than 2,500 MPa.

6. The insulated wire according to claim 1 , having an interlayer comprising a non-crystalline thermoplastic resin between the thermoplastic resin layer and the thermosetting resin layer.

7. A motor coil comprising the insulated wire according to claim 1 which has been subjected to a wind-processing.

8. An electric/electronic equipment produced by processing the insulated wire according to claim 1 by winding.

9. A method of producing an insulated wire comprising at least one thermosetting resin layer and at least one thermoplastic resin layer, provided in this order on a conductor having a rectangular cross-section, a curvature radius r of corner portions at both edges of at least one short side of the conductor being 0.6 mm or less, comprising a step of:

baking the thermosetting resin layer; and

extrusion-molding the thermoplastic resin layer, thereby to make thickness t 1 of a corner portion of the thermosetting resin layer and thickness t 2 of a corner portion of the thermoplastic resin layer satisfy a relation expressed by the following Formula 1:

t 2/ t 1<1.  Formula 1:
