Abstract
A method of forming a weld joint includes removing a portion of an insulator from a first core of a first magnet wire and a second core of a second magnet wire so that the first wire has a first heat affectable zone and a first insulator portion adjacent the first zone, and the second wire has a second heat affectable zone and a second insulator portion adjacent the second zone. The first and second insulator portions include the insulator disposed on the first and second cores, respectively. The first and second zones have a first and second distal end spaced apart from the first and second insulator portions, respectively. The method includes welding together only the first end and the second end to form the weld joint, wherein welding does not transfer heat to the first and second insulator portions sufficient to burn the insulator.
