The Comparison of Methods of Testing Enameled Wire to Mechanical Stress

Abstract

This work presents the test results of the enameled winding wires, characterizing an insulation mechanical strength. The standard and original test methods were used. It should be noted that the existing standard test methods do not estimate enamel insulation resistance to the mechanical loads authentically. Note that the estimation of wire mechanical resistance can be done by the determination of the number of defects in the enamel insulation. The results of tests for wires with various types of insulation are presented.
