Classification of Magnet Wire
Magnet wires can be classified by their Basic Composition, Conductive Core, and Electrical Insulation.
Generally, it is divided into Enameled wire, Winding wire, Enameled Winding wire and Inorganic Insulated wire according to the Insulating Material and manufacturing method used for the electrical insulating layer.
Enameled wire divided according to usage:
1. General-purpose enameled wire (ordinary wire): mainly used for winding wires in general motors, electrical appliances, instruments, transformers and other workplaces, such as polyester enameled wire, modified polyester enameled wire.
2. Heat-resistant enameled wire: mainly used for winding wires in electrical machinery, electrical appliances, instruments, transformers and other workplaces that work in a temperature environment of 180°C and above, such as polyesterimide enameled wire, polyimide enameled wire, polyester enameled wire, polyesterimide enameled wire / polyamide-imide composite enameled wire.
3. Enamelled wire for special purposes: refers to the winding wire used for specific occasions with certain quality characteristics, such as polyurethane enameled wire (straight solderability), self-bonding enameled wire.
Enameled wire divided into conductor material: Copper wire, Aluminum wire and Alloy wire
Enameled wire divided into material shape: Round wire, Flat wire, Square wire
Due to the increasingly wide application of enameled wire and the increasingly stringent requirements, Composite Enameled Wire has also been developed. The base and top paint insulation are composed of different polymer materials, such as polyesterimide/polyamideimide enameled wires.
Enameled wire is a wire coated with a thin layer of insulation to prevent the wire surfaces from being in a short circuit when wound into coils. Magnetic flux is created when current flows through the coil. It is used mainly in the construction of motors, electromagnets, transformers and inductors.
Compared with the winding wire, the insulating layer of the enameled wire is thinner, which can further improve the phase filling rate of the motor.
