In the previous article, I briefly outlined the classification of some enameled wires, and then we continue with the introduction of the remaining parts of the classification. Enameled Copper Wire is a main type of winding wire. It is composed of a conductor and an insulating layer. After the bare wire is softened by annealing, it is painted and baked many times.

Enameled wire is the…

The war between these Copper Magnet Wire and aluminum wire metals continues to rage on; both vying to become the number one contender as the ideal component for windings in a transformer. Due to both metals being thermal and electrical conductors, they often cross paths. However, it’s usually down to the individual preferences of the person designing, or specifying, the transformer, as to which one…
