Compatibility of selected wire enamels coated on both copper and aluminum wire with electrical tapes and resins

Perhaps the most important consideration in the design of electrical insulation systems is the compatibility of that system when exposed to the environmental stresses encountered in its intended application. The investigation of the compatibility of such systems began many years ago when premature failures of electrical equipment were first suspected to be caused by incompatibility. The interaction between the components of the system caused a degradation of the properties of the components and this was termed incompatibility.
