Class 120 Polyvinyl Acetal Enamelled Rectangular Copper Wire
Polyvinyl acetal enamelled copper wire is an electrical wire consisting of a copper conductor coated with a layer of insulation made from polyvinyl acetal (PVF-2) enamel. It provides electrical insulation, protects against environmental factors, and is commonly used in applications such as motors, transformers, and inductors.
IEC 60317 Specification
This part of IEC 60317 specifies the requirements of enamelled recagular copper winding wire of class 120 with a sole coating based on polybinyl acetal resin, which may be modified providing it retains the chemical identity of the orginal resin and meets all specified wire requirements.
Class 120 is a thermal class that requires a minimum temperature index of 120 and h heat shock temperature of at least 155℃
The temperature in degree Celsius corresponding to the temperature index is not necessarily that t which it is recomended that the wire be operated and this will depend on many factors, including the type of equipment involved.
The range of nominal conductor dimensions covered by this standard is as follows;
–width; minimum 2.0m; maximum 16mm
–thickness; minimum 0.8mm, maximum 5.6mm
Wire of grade 1 and grade 1 are included in this specifcation and apply to the complete range of conductors.
Mandrel Winding Test
The coating shall show no crack after the wire has been bent flatwise and edgewise on a mandrel with a diameter as spexified in the form.
