For Downhole Motors in Oil & Gas Applications GORE™Magnet WiresExtend motor life and increase tool reliability with durable magnet wires The oil and gas industry faces many challenges when drilling deep into the Earth. GORETM Magnet Wires are designed specifically to operate reliably in extreme environments, minimizing the risk of catastrophic failures for maximum tool run-times. With a unique engineered fluoropolymer insulation, these robust magnet wires provide the highest voltage endurance in a wide range of conditions, including up to high pressure, high temperature, harsh fluids and hydrolysis (Figure 1 and Tables 1 — 3). Superior performance through Endurance Testing Using ASTM/NEMA MW 1000 test method, Gore evaluated the performance of its magnet wire compared to a polyimide enameled wire. Results proved that GORETM Magnet Wires maintained maximum voltage endurance after continuous exposure to harsh fluids at elevated temperatures which can cause hydolysis in other materials. In contrast, the polyimide enameled wire became brittle and cracked immediately under mechanical stress, showing a substantial loss of insulation resistance and voltage breakdown performance. GORE™ Magnet Wires provide superior performance continuously in extreme downhole environments, extending motor life and increasing tool reliability. Benefits of GORETM Magnet Wires • Exceptional resistance to chemicals and hydrolysis due to specialized insulation materials • Superior electrical performance in a wide range of temperatures up to 260°C • Highest voltage endurance in the harshest downhole environments • Longer motor life and increased tool reliability, reducing risk of unexpected failures Table 1: Wire Properties Property Value a Testing based on size AWG 2801.
