Standard Test Method for Bond Strength of Electrical Insulating Varnishes by the Twisted-Coil Test

Standard Details

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the bond strength of an electrical insulating varnish when applied to a twisted coil of film-insulated magnet wire. The use of a particular type of film-insulated wire will show the values for that combination of film coating and varnish.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

Note 1: Although this standard and Method C of IEC 61033 differ in approach or detail, data obtained using either are technically equivalent.
