An electrical winding conductor (1) with a rectangular cross section is specified in order to produce an electrical winding for electrical appliances which contain a liquid, which is used as a coolant and in which the winding is immersed in the in-use position. In order to improve the cooling, raised areas (2) composed of insulating material are fitted at a distance from one another on at least one side of the winding conductor (1), over its entire length.
