Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An insulated wire having a conductor, a foamed insulating layer containing a thermosetting resin having cells, coated directly or indirectly onto the outer periphery of the conductor and an outer insulating layer containing a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 240° C. or higher when the thermoplastic resin is a crystalline resin or a thermoplastic resin having a glass transition temperature of 240° C. or higher when the thermoplastic resin is a non-crystalline resin; electrical equipment using the insulated wire; and a method of producing the insulated wire, containing a step of forming a foamed insulating layer by applying a varnish for forming the foamed insulating layer on the outer periphery of a conductor, by generating foams during baking and a step of forming an outer insulating layer by extrusion-molding a thermoplastic resin composition for forming the outer insulating layer on the outer periphery of the foamed insulating layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An insulated wire comprising: a conductor; a foamed insulating layer containing a thermosetting resin having cells, coated directly or indirectly onto the outer periphery of the conductor; and an outer insulating layer containing a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 240° C. or higher in the case where the thermoplastic resin is a crystalline resin or a thermoplastic resin having a glass transition temperature of 240° C. or higher in the case where the thermoplastic resin is a non-crystalline resin, on the outer side of the foamed insulating layer. 2. The insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic resin has a storage elastic modulus of 1 GPa or more at 25° C. 3. The insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness ratio of the foamed insulating layer to the outer insulating layer (foamed insulating layer/outer insulating layer) is from 5/95 to 95/5. 4. The insulated wire according to claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic resin comprises a crystalline thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 270° C. or higher. 5. The insulated wire according to claim 1 , used for a motor coil. 6. A method of producing the insulated wire according to claim 1 , comprising the steps of: forming a foamed insulating layer by applying directly or indirectly a varnish for forming the foamed insulating layer on the outer periphery of a conductor, and by generating foams in the process of baking; and forming an outer insulating layer by extrusion-molding a thermoplastic resin composition for forming the outer insulating layer on the outer periphery of the foamed insulating layer. 7. Electrical equipment, using the insulated wire according to claim 1 .
