Insulating Material
The fiber covering shall consist of a combination of polyester and glass fibers.
The glass fibers shall be electrical-grade continuous-filament glass yarn.
The polyester fiber shall be a high-grade yarn resulting from the linear polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.
The maximum content by weight of polyester fiber in the yarn shall not exceed 50%. If underlying film coating is used, it shall have at least a class 130 rating and comply with the specification of Polyester Film-Insulated Square Copper Magnet Wire Thermal Class 155. The polyester glass fiber covering shall be wrapped firmly, closely, evenly, and continuously around the wire. The polyester glass fiber covering shall be unvarnished and fused.
