Abstract

Magnet wire with corona resistant enamel insulation may include a conductor, and at least one layer of polymeric enamel insulation may be formed around the conductor. The polymeric enamel insulation may include a filler dispersed in polyimide and an additive formed by reacting an amine moiety with a formaldehyde material. The filler may include between 20 percent and 80 percent by weight of silica oxide and between 20 and 80 percent by weight of titanium oxide.

Claims (29)

1. A magnet wire comprising:

a conductor; and

at least one layer of polymeric enamel insulation formed around the conductor, the polymeric enamel insulation comprising a filler dispersed in polyimide and an additive comprising an amine moiety reacted with a formaldehyde material,

wherein the filler comprises between 20 percent and 80 percent by weight of silica oxide and between 20 and 80 percent by weight of titanium oxide,

wherein the polymeric enamel insulation has a thermal index of 260° C. or greater.

2. The magnet wire of claim 1 , wherein the filler comprises between 60 percent and 80 percent by weight of titanium oxide and between 20 percent and 40 percent by weight of silica oxide.

3. The magnet wire of claim 1 , wherein the filler comprises between 10 percent and 25 percent by weight of the polymeric enamel insulation.

4. The magnet wire of claim 1 , wherein the filler comprises between 15 percent and 20 percent by weight of the polymeric enamel insulation.

5. The magnet wire of claim 1 , wherein the additive operates as an adhesion promoter.

6. The magnet wire of claim 1 , wherein the additive comprises Cymel.

7. The magnet wire of claim 1 , wherein the at least one layer of polymeric enamel insulation comprises a plurality of layers of polymeric enamel insulation.

8. The magnet wire of claim 1 , further comprising a topcoat insulation layer formed around the at least one layer of polymeric enamel insulation.

9. The magnet wire of claim 8 , wherein the topcoat insulation layer comprises an unfilled layer.

10. The magnet wire of claim 8 , wherein the topcoat insulation layer comprises polyamideimide.

11. The magnet wire of claim 8 , wherein the topcoat insulation layer comprises between 5 and 15 percent of a total thickness of the combined polymeric enamel insulation and the topcoat insulation layer.

12. A magnet wire comprising:

a conductor; and

filled polymeric enamel insulation formed around the conductor, the filled polymeric enamel insulation comprising (i) between 10 percent and 25 percent by weight of a filler and (ii) an additive comprising an amine moiety reacted with a formaldehyde material,

wherein the filler comprises between 20 percent and 80 percent by weight of silica oxide and between 20 and 80 percent by weight of titanium oxide,

wherein the filled polymeric enamel insulation has a thermal index of 260° C. or greater.

13. The magnet wire of claim 12 , wherein the filler comprises between 60 percent and 80 percent by weight of titanium oxide and between 20 percent and 40 percent by weight of silica oxide.

14. The magnet wire of claim 12 , wherein the filler comprises between 15 percent and 20 percent by weight of the filled polymeric enamel insulation.

15. The magnet wire of claim 12 , wherein the additives operates as an adhesion promoter.

16. The magnet wire of claim 12 , wherein the additive comprises Cymel.

17. The magnet wire of claim 12 , wherein the filled polymeric enamel insulation comprises a plurality of layers of polymeric enamel insulation.

18. The magnet wire of claim 12 , further comprising a topcoat insulation layer formed around the filled polymeric enamel insulation.

19. The magnet wire of claim 18 , wherein the topcoat insulation layer comprises an unfilled layer.

20. The magnet wire of claim 18 , wherein the topcoat insulation layer comprises polyamideimide.

21. The magnet wire of claim 18 , wherein the topcoat insulation layer comprises between 5 and 15 percent of a total thickness of the combined filled polymeric enamel insulation and the topcoat insulation layer.
