Wire Types

Bare Litz Wire

Litz wire is used wherever a reduction in AC losses is required and can found in many major industry segments. Its greater flexibility makes it superior to other wires in the same cross section. Litz wire is made of several strands of enameled magnet wire that are bunched or stranded together.

  • Electric Vehicles and Charging Stations
  • Wireless Charging
  • Switch Mode Power Supplies
  • Induction Heating
  • Solar Inverters
  • Renewable Energy
  • Linear Motors & Motion Control
  • Medical Power Supplies

Insulated Litz Wires

Litz wire is made of several strands of enameled magnet wire that are bunched or stranded together. It is used where losses caused by the skin-and-proximity effect on a single wire are too high due to the operating frequency. At the same time the operating temperature is reduced by its use. Litz wire has much greater mechanical flexibility than a single wire with the same cross-section.

Triple Insulated Wire

Rubadue wire was the first company to design and manufacture triple insulated wires.
Triple insulated wires can be used to meet several design requirements.

  • Wind directly on top of magnet wire
  • Wind bobbin wall to wall
  • Use as primary or secondary winding
  • Meet creepage and clearance requirements
  • High Voltage
  • Applications requiring reinforced isolation
  • Ground insulation in UL 1446 systems
  • Leakage or loss reduction
  • Transformer leadout between circuits
  • Recuded space, volume, weight
  • Increased Safety
  • High Speed winding capable

Triple-insulated wires can be manufactured in a variety of types, sizes, insulations, ratings, and colors.

Double Insulated Wire

Rubadue wire manufactures several double insulated wires to be used in supplementary isolation applications. Double-insulated wires can be used to meet several design requirements:

  • Wind bobbin wall-to-wall
  • Meet creepage and clearance requirements
  • High Voltage
  • Applications requiring supplementary isolation
  • Leakage or loss reduction
  • Reduced space, volume, weight
  • Increased safety
  • High-speed winding capable

Single Insulated Wire

Rubadue wire manufactures several wire with a single layer of insulation.
Single insulated wires can be used to meet several design requirements:

  • Hook-up or lead wires
  • High Voltage
  • Applications requiring basic isolation
  • Leakage or loss reduction
  • Increased safety
  • High-speed winding capable
