Abstract: An insulated coil for use in a coil and pole assembly comprising an electrically conductive coil including a plurality of aligned, overlapping turns that are coated with a powder coating material so as to be electrically insulated from each other. The powder coated coil is heated so as to partially cure the powder coating material and then fitted about its associated pole. Once disposed about the pole, the coil is compressed in the vertical and horizontal directions, and heated while in the compressed state to completely cure the powder coating material.

Abstract: A bobbin for insulating a coil including a base portion comprising an electrically insulative material having an inner surface, an outer surface, an outer periphery, and a pole opening (54). An inner flange extends outwardly from the base portion in a first direction from the pole opening and at least partially defines the pole opening. Moreover, an outer flange extends outwardly from the base portion in the first direction from the outer periphery of the base portion. With this configuration, the bobbin is sized and configured to be placed on a side of the coil to provide ground insulation thereto.
