Magnet wire with thermoplastic insulation

A method for forming insulated magnet wire comprising:

• providing a conductor;
• providing a blended thermoplastic material for extrusion, the blended thermoplastic material comprising a blend of:
• a first polymeric material having a thermal index greater than 240° C., wherein the first polymeric material comprises no more than forty percent by weight of the blend,
• a second polymeric material having a thermal index below 200° C., and
• a third polymeric material different than the second polymeric material and having a thermal index below 200° C.;
• and
• extruding the blended thermoplastic material to form a thermoplastic insulation layer around the conductor.

A method for forming insulated magnet wire comprising:

• providing a conductor;
• providing a blended thermoplastic material for extrusion, the blended thermoplastic material comprising a blend of:
• a first polymeric material comprising polyetheretherketone, wherein the first polymeric material comprises no more than forty percent by weight of the blend, and
• a second polymeric material comprising polyphenylsulfone;
• and
• extruding the blended thermoplastic material to form a thermoplastic insulation layer around the conductor.
