65 [deg]C. (149 [deg]F.) for an electrolytic type and 90 [deg]C. (194 [deg]F.) for other than an electrolytic

type.\2\ The temperature indicated refers to the hottest spot on the outside surface of the coil measured by the

thermocouple method.\3\ The limitations on rubber- and thermoplastic-insulated wires and cords and on phenolic composition do not

apply if the insulation or the phenolic has been investigated and found to have special heat-resistant

properties, or if the insulation meets the thermal requirements.\4\ 40 less than melting point.\5\ 104 less than melting point.
