Insulation on coil windings of a.c. motors (not including universal motors) and on vibrator coils:
In open motors and on vibrator coils—thermocouple or resistance method 2	100	120	212	248
In totally enclosed motors—thermocouple or resistance method 2	105	125	221	257
Insulation on coil windings of d.c. motors and of universal motors:
In open motors:
Thermocouple method 2	90	110	194	230
Resistance method	100	120	212	248
In totally enclosed motors:
Thermocouple method 2	95	115	203	239
Resistance method	105	125	221	257
Phenolic composition 3		150	302
Rubber- or thermoplastic-insulated wires and cords 3		60	140
Sealing compound		(4)	(5)
Supporting surface while the toy is operating normally		90	194
Wood and other similar combustible material		90	194
1 If the capacitor has no marked temperature limit, the maximum acceptable temperature will be assumed to be 65 °C. (149 °F.) for an electrolytic type and 90 °C. (194 °F.) for other than an electrolytic type.
2 The temperature indicated refers to the hottest spot on the outside surface of the coil measured by the thermocouple method.
3 The limitations on rubber- and thermoplastic-insulated wires and cords and on phenolic composition do not apply if the insulation or the phenolic has been investigated and found to have special heat-resistant properties, or if the insulation meets the thermal requirements.
4 40 less than melting point.
5 104 less than melting point.
