A rectangular wire having: a multilayer conductor member constructed by stacking, in a thickness direction, a rectangular metallic conductor that has a layer of a thermosetting resin formed on the outer periphery thereof, the thermosetting resin having a glass transition temperature of 100 C. or more and 200 C. or less and having a urethane bond; and a layer of a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 300 C. or more on the outer periphery of the multilayer conductor member.

An insulated wire, having at least one foamed insulating layer composed of a thermosetting resin having bubbles, directly or indirectly on an outer periphery of a conductor, wherein the foamed insulating layer has a different bubble density in a thickness direction thereof; and a rotating electrical machine.

Compositions including a vegetable- or animal-derived oil, such as fatty acid alkyl esters, are stabilized against oxidation using an oxygenated aminophenol antioxidant. The aminophenol includes one or two carbon-containing group(s) including a hydroxyl group and/or ether group separated from the N atom by one or more carbon atoms. The oxygenated aminophenol antioxidants effective at controlling oxidation at moderate and even low amounts, useful in a variety of different oil and methyl ester fatty acid preparations, and were effective at elevated temperatures, and performed significantly better than convention antioxidants.
