Insulated Winding Wire 101: Selecting an Insulated Winding Wire Part I: Temperature Ratings
When designing or selecting an insulated winding wire for use in a wound component, it is important to consider the following: What is the range of operating temperatures that the product will see in your
Litz Wire 101: When is a textile serve appropriate for your application?
Textile serves, when applied to Litz wires, act as an optional layer of added mechanical protection for the overall conductor. Serves are particularly effective at protecting the enamel layer on the individual strands of the
Tips on How to Avoid Damaging Insulated Winding Wires in your Process
Insulation walls on insulated winding wires are much thinner today than they were in decades past. As the power electronics industry has sought to reduce the size of their components, winding wires have gotten smaller
Skin Effect and Proximity Effect Losses in Litz Wires
When designing or selecting a Litz wire for use in a winding, it is important to understand and minimize skin effect and proximity effect losses wherever it is possible to do so. The uneven distribution
The Different Test Methods Used for Electric Strength and Breakdown Voltage Testing on Winding Wires
There are three different test methods used for Electric Strength testing and Breakdown Voltage testing on winding wires. This article will give a brief description of each test method and outline the sizes of winding
A Brief Explanation of Litz Diameters and Tolerances
For engineers in the transformer industry who are used to working with solid conductor winding wires, the larger diameters and wider tolerances on Litz wires may come as a bit of a shock. With Litz
