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 a base polyimide 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. Additionally, the polymeric enamel insulation may have a thermal index of at least 260° C. and a thermal index that is at least twice that of the base polymeric material.

Claims (30)

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 a base polyimide 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, and

wherein the polymeric enamel insulation has a first thermal conductivity that is at least twice that of a second thermal conductivity of the base polyimide material.

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 polymeric enamel insulation further comprises an additive comprising an amine moiety reacted with an aldehyde material.

6. The magnet wire of claim 5 , 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 between 10 percent and 25 percent by weight of a filler dispersed in a base polymeric 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, and

wherein the filled polymeric enamel insulation has a first thermal conductivity that is at least twice that of a second thermal conductivity for the base polymeric material.

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 filled polymeric enamel insulation further comprises an additive comprising an amine moiety reacted with an aldehyde material.

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

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

18. The magnet wire of claim 17 , wherein the topcoat insulation layer comprises an unfilled layer.

19. The magnet wire of claim 17 , wherein the topcoat insulation layer comprises polyamideimide.

20. The magnet wire of claim 17 , 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.
