2) *NOTHING* in the claims states bare wire; in fact it eXplicity
(ie: X-rated) states *Litz* wire.
3) Learn how to read.




Actually, it states "a single strand of litz" which is pretty funny.


Maybe they also sell a "Litz wire separator" machine to
extract that single strand. :-)

By the way, you mentioned aramid paper in another response.
Thanks for that. Gives me a new (to me) thing to learn
about.

???? Aramid *paper* ????
One can sasily get sheets of Kapton in many thickness - but that is
not paper, and combining wood and/or vegatable (cotton, linen, etc)
fiber is a bit wierd,to say the least.


You ain't real bright... boy.

Kapton compresses, and has issues with corona.

NOMEX, which is WIDELY used in transformer and toroid manufacture, IS
rated at 1500 volts per mill breakdown resistance, which is on par or
even better than kapton.

Since I vacuum impregnate my transformers and toroids with varnish, I
don't think it will be taking on any water any time soon.

That same varnish, however, flakes off of Kapton, and beads when
applied. Hint: not good.

Weird indeed.
