Magnet wire technical committee reports: Chairman and section reports

Welcome to the fourth NEMA Magnet Wire Section report to the industry. Those of you who have attended the past insulation conferences remember that we introduced the NEMA up-grading program in the first session in New York in 1965. We then presented the new standard, MW-1000, in Chicago in 1967. Last year in Los Angeles, a review of test procedures and equipment introduced in MW-1000 was presented. Again, we have chosen the Electrical Insulation Conference to bring to you the latest changes and additions to MW-1000. We know the conference represents the most complete gathering of people who are vitally interested in the testing, application, and standardization of magnet wire. The increased number of papers on magnet wire in other sessions of this conference is a good indication of this point.
