Abstract: A pulsed voltage surge resistant magnet wire. The magnet wire comprises a conductor and a coat of insulation material superimposed on the conductor. The insulation material is an insulative polymeric material and has a shielding particulate filler material dispersed throughout.

Abstract: A pulsed voltage surge resistant magnet wire having a conductor and a continuous and concentric and flexible uniform coat of insulation material superimposed on the conductor. The insulation material has an effective amount of a particulate filler material dispersed throughout the material to increase the pulsed volt surge resistance of the insulation material by at least ten-fold in comparison testing at 20 kHz, 0.721 kV per mil, 50% duty cycle from about 30° C. to about 130° C. with rise times of about 83 kV per microsecond. The particulates of the filler have a size from about 0.005 microns to about 1.0 microns.

Abstract: A pulsed voltage surge resistant magnet wire comprising a conductor, a continuous and concentric and flexible uniform coat of base insulation material superimposed on the conductor. An essentially continuous and concentric and uniform pulsed voltage surge shield overlaying the coat of base insulation material. The shield has therein an effective amount of a particulate material. The shield is superimposed on the coat of base insulation material, and has a continuous and concentric and flexible and uniform top coat of insulation material superimposed thereon.

Abstract: An essentially linear resin having a plurality of amide, imide and ester groups therein comprising the condensation product of at least one polycarboxylic acid five member ring-forming reactant, at least one ethylenically unsaturated polycarboxylic acid five or six member ring lactam-forming reactant, at least one polyfunctional hydroxy compound, at least one difunctional amino five or six member ring forming reactant, at least one polycarboxylic acid reactant having no more than two carboxylic acid ester forming radicals, and at least one polycarboxylic acid reactant having two or more carboxylic acid ester forming radicals with at least two of the radicals in the 1,2 position relative to each other. The method of forming a solution of a prepolymer having a plurality of amide, imide and ester groups therein in cresylic acid or glycol ether solvents and reacting the same with at least one ethylenically unsaturated polycarboxylic acid five or six member ring forming reactant at elevated temperatures.
