Terms and definitions of Enameled Magnet Wire
According to IEC 60851, listing the Terms and definitions of Enameled Magnet Wire
1.1 bonding layer
material which is deposited on an enamelled wire and which has the specific function of bondingwires together
1.2 bunched wire
winding wires consisting of a quantity of small diameter insulated wires laid-up together withoutpredetermined geometrical position and with or without additional covering
1.3 class
thermal performance of a wire expressed by the temperature index and the heat shocktemperature
1.4 coating
material which is deposited on a conductor or wire by suitable means and then dried and/orcured
1.5 conductor
bare metal after removal of the insulation

material which is wound, wrapped or braided around a bare or insulated conductor
1.7 crack
opening in the insulation which exposes the conductor to view at the stated magnification
1.8 cure
process of converting a reactive compound into a stable, usable condition by polymerization(polycondensation and polyaddition) and/or crosslinking
