Polyimide Coated Magnet Wires: Advantage in >800V EV
Electrical breakdown of high-temperature insulation materials can be prevented by using thermoplastic Polyimide, TPI. This polymer can be extrusion-coated as other polymers, but AURUM, TPI reduces electrical and magnetic losses. AURUM has the highest Tg of any commercially available Thermoplastic, 473°F (245°C) and its insulation
performance especially at temperatures above 302°F (150°C) beats any other known insulation.
As the automobile sector transitions to electric vehicles, new polymers that offer higher electrical and thermal properties are used. For better system integration, weight-reduction and downsizing in higher-volt systems, for faster charging and longer charging distances, electrical breakdown must be prevented by high-temperature insulation materials. AURUM reduces electrical and magnetic losses with a high comparative tracking index (CTI) > 600 volts.
Thermoplastic Polyimide (TPI) produced by Mitsui Chemicals of Japan, and sold by BARplast LLC is known for excellent thermal stability, high-temperature resistance, and robust electrical insulation properties. TPI coated magnet wires are a suitable choice for high-voltage applications (800V and above). Here are some key characteristics of AURUM coated magnet wires for high-voltage mobility applications:
• High-Temperature Resistance: Capable of withstanding elevated temperatures in general and best-in class performance near welding-spots.
• Thermal Stability: Provide thermal stability over a wide temperature range, ensuring the integrity of the insulation even well above 302°F (150°C) continuously.
• Electrical Insulation: Excellent electrical insulation properties to prevent electrical breakdown and ensure the safety and reliability of the system.
• Flexibility: Maintain flexibility even at elevated temperatures, allowing for ease of winding during the manufacturing process and flexibility in the final application.
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to many chemicals, enhancing the durability of the coating in various cooling environments.
• High Dielectric Strength: The high dielectric strength of AURUM helps in preventing electrical arcing and breakdown.
• Lightweight: AURUM coated magnet wires are lightweight because even 30% less volume insulates better than other, commonly used materials.
AURUM is a semicrystalline TPI suitable for powder-coating, injection molding and extrusion coating, with highest-in-class glass transition temperature. Extrusion processing AURUM for wire insulation is highly economical, allows extremely thin layers and has better elasticity and good compatibility with cooling-/ lubricating oils.
Thermosetting polyimides have been known for many years in electronic insulation, but thermoplastic PI offers new ways of mass-producing Polyimide insulation for the automotive industry.
Extrusion-coated magnet wires and powder-coated busbars have been studied: performance parameters, including adhesion to Copper & Aluminum, temperature resistance, flexibility, and dielectric values, have all been evaluated and contrasted with PAI-enamels, PEEK-coating, and other insulation materials.
BARplast LLC is a subsidiary of the BIEGLO Group and is located Texas. BARplast sells POLYIMIDE like AURUM TPI, various thermosetting PIs like PLAVIS, PEEK and R-PEEK. This year BARplast is exhibiting at the NPE in Orlando for the first time. Come to out booth S31194 to learn more about the TPI Aurum and other High Performance.
