Abstract
Abstract A method of extruding a thin sheath of plastic material about electric wire, utilizing a plastic material capable of being shaped by extrusion after having been heated in a screw extruder, this material exhibiting the technical characteristics required for enamel-type insulation after cooling, without necessitating subsequent treatment. An extrusion material containing at least one partially crystalline thermoplastic polycondensate wherein the crystallites have a melting-point above 170 DEG C. answers these requirements.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A method of manufacturing insulated electric wire of the enamelled wire type intended to be used in the manufacture of windings for electrical equipment such as motors, transformers, magnetic coils, relays and the like required to operate under load conditions wherein their temperature is elevated above the ambient temperature, comprising the steps of introducing into an extruder a solvent free thermoplastic material containing at least one partially crystalline thermoplastic polycondensate comprising crystallites having a melting point above 170° C and extruding at or above the crystalline melting point of said thermoplastic polycondensate, the molten material onto and around a metal wire so as to form on said wire a thin sheath having a thickness complying with the requirements of German Standard DIN 46 435.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
124 words
