UltraShield® Plus magnet wire, which is specifically designed for use in motors that may be subjected to higher voltage spikes present in inverter duty applications, exhibits excellent resistance to partial discharges and abrasion. The combination of the modified Polyester basecoat and Polyamide-imide topcoat provides an insulation system with outstanding toughness and excellent dielectric properties. UltraShield® Plus magnet wire has improved voltage endurance and thermal properties, compared to standard NEMA MW 36-C magnet wire, while retaining superior chemical resistance to common solvents and refrigerants. UltraShield® Plus conforms to all of the requirements of NEMA MW 36-C.

The objective of this paper is to explain how inverter duty wire allows electric motors to function properly in the modern power environment and compare different options versus Essex UltraShield® Plus to determine if it is still the best product on the market.

Essex Solutions is committed to holistic sustainability and understands the responsibility to consider the potential impact our manufacturing processes may have on the environment.
