The best Cu wire I know of for rewinding transformers and making HV-RF
chokes is currently used in electric motor rewinding shops. I think it's
called type WL. It is insulated with silicone-varnish, has a breakdown
of over 5kVDC between adjacent turns, rated at 180ºC, and it has a low RF
Diss.factor. Bring your own spool and a winder since they sell it by the
pound from large spools. The coating is difficult to remove by scraping.
I use a flame to incinerate the varnish and then remove the residue with
steel wool.
