The coils of the smaller motors (those \\\) to 40 or .)() h()rsej)ower)are usuallv wound with round wire. Ihe cotton covering of the wireis de])ended u])on for insulation To strengthen this, however, t!iecoils after being wound are immersed in an insulating compoimdand then baked in an oven. The whole coil is usually wrapped withinsulating tape (See Fig. (>). The armatures of larger motors havecoils made of copper bars. Mica is often placed between and aroundthe bars for insulation, though oiled linen cloth tape cut bias is alsoemployed, especially in repair work. Field Coils. Field coils are so constructed that they
