Hello Everyone. I was reading up on the new Tesla car and how it runs on an induction motor. I have a quick question. I have been learning about induction motors recently. If you see the loops and coils of wire in the picture below, are those loops and coils of wire bare copper? or are they "magnet wire" that has a copper colored enamel on them?
In other words, I want to know if these strands of wire are insulated or not; because if they are bare copper, i would think all hell would break loose when we connect them with power.
Thank you for your replies.
p.s. The motor in the picture is NOT from a tesla car. I put it there for my question.
