I think it's too easily nicked and likely too thin to be relied upon for Basic Insulation, with the dielectric requirement which comes with that classification. _______________________________________________________________________________

From: Scott Xe [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 22, 2012 10:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Enamel layer of windings in primary of mains transformer or AC motor Is the enamel layer of windings of mains transformer or motor considered as a basic insulation? Lots of people point out that the primary windings or motor windings are live part and requires double or reinforced insulation if the user accessible object could be touch the windings. If the enamel layer is considered a basic insulation, a supplementary insulation of the a user accessible object is required.
