Abstract

A rectangular insulated wire includes a rectangular conductor having a generally rectangular cross section, a thermosetting resin layer provided to cover the rectangular conductor, and a plurality of thermoplastic resin layers provided on the thermosetting resin layer. An adhesion strength between the thermosetting resin layer and the thermoplastic resin layer is 50 gf/mm to 100 gf/mm.

Claims (25)

1. A rectangular insulated wire comprising:

a rectangular conductor having a generally rectangular cross section;

a thermosetting resin layer provided to cover the rectangular conductor,

a first thermoplastic resin layer provided on the thermosetting resin layer;

a second thermoplastic resin layer provided on the first thermoplastic resin layer,

an adhesion strength between the thermosetting resin layer and the first thermoplastic resin layer being 50 gf/mm to 100 gf/mm,

a relative crystallinity of the first thermoplastic resin layer being greater than or equal to 20% and less than or equal to 50%,

a relative crystallinity of the second thermoplastic resin layer being higher than the relative crystallinity of the first thermoplastic resin layer by greater than or equal to 3%.

2. The rectangular insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein the first thermoplastic resin layer is a crystalline resin layer formed of any of materials selected from the group comprising polyetheretherketone, polyetherketoneketone, polyetherketone, polyphenylene sulfide and thermoplastic polyimide.

3. The rectangular insulated wire according to claim 1 ,

wherein an adhesion strength between the first thermoplastic resin layer and the second thermoplastic resin layer is 50 gf/mm to 100 gf/mm.

4. The rectangular insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein the relative crystallinity of the second thermoplastic resin layer is 45% to 100%.

5. The rectangular insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein the second thermoplastic resin layer is a second crystalline resin layer formed of any material selected from the group comprising polyetheretherketone, polyetherketoneketone, polyetherketone, polyphenylene sulfide and thermoplastic polyimide.

6. The rectangular insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein the thermosetting resin layer is formed of one or a plurality of materials selected from the group comprising polyamide-imide, polyesterimide, polyimide, class H polyester and polyetherimide.

7. The rectangular insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein the thermosetting resin layer is formed on the rectangular conductor by bake-on coating.

8. The rectangular insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein the first thermoplastic resin layer is formed on the thermosetting resin layer by extrusion, and further the second thermoplastic resin layer is formed on the first thermoplastic resin layer by extrusion.

9. The rectangular insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein the rectangular conductor is one of aluminum or aluminum alloy and copper or copper alloy.

10. An electric generator coil formed by winding a rectangular insulated wire comprising:

a rectangular conductor having a generally rectangular cross section;

a thermosetting resin layer provided to cover the rectangular conductor,

a first thermoplastic resin layer provided on the thermosetting resin layer;

and a second thermoplastic resin layer provided on the first thermoplastic resin layer,

an adhesion strength between the thermosetting resin layer and the first thermoplastic resin layer being 50 gf/mm to 100 gf/mm,

a relative crystallinity of the first thermoplastic resin layer being greater than or equal to 20% and less than or equal to 50%,

a relative crystallinity of the second thermoplastic resin layer being higher than the relative crystallinity of the first thermoplastic resin layer by greater than or equal to 3%.
