Abstract

Aging tests have been carried out both on wire enamel and varnished wire enamel samples. The samples were tested for dielectric strength at 60 c/s at different stages of aging. After the insulation had been removed from the wire, it was analysed in an infra-red spectrometer. The spectra showed gradual changes with increased amount of aging, particularly in the CH stretching and OH stretching absorption bands. These data were correlated with other measured parameters of the material, particularly breakdown voltage, and the possibility of the existence of such a correlation has been found. The data from the spectra can also be used to determine an approximate value of the rate constant B of the Arrhenius equation.
