The mechanical, electrical and chemical characteristics of enameled aluminum wire differ from those of copper magnet wire because of the inherent differences in the conductor materials. These differences are reflected in certain test procedures and performance requirements for aluminum enameled magnet wire, such as elongation, adherence and flexibility, heat shock, scrape resistance, continuity and thermal endurance.

The advantage of aluminum enameled winding wire is light weight. This product is widely used in electrical tools, ballasts, automotive electronics, refrigerator and air conditioner compressor motors, television sets, electric stove, microwave ovens, various transformers, and other kinds of electronic coil motors, electrical appliances.

Enamelled Aluminium magnet wire is sometimes used for large transformers and motors, but because of its lower electrical conductivity, an aluminium enameled wire must have 1.6 times the cross sectional area as a copper wire to achieve comparable DC resistance. Smaller diameter magnet wire usually has a round cross section. Thicker Aluminum Magnet Wire is often square or rectangular (with rounded corners) to permit more efficient use of available winding space.

Various Applications of Enamelled Aluminium Wire & Copper Enamelled Wire

Dual Coated Enamelled Aluminium Wires /Copper Wires are suitable for all “H + ” (220°C and 200°C) Class and above applications such as dry type transformers, stator winding fractional and integral H.P motors, D.C Field and Armature windings, Motors for Hermetic grade, Hand tools, Chemicals Industries, Furnaces and high Torque, continuous rated, all Home appliances machine motors, Auto electrical, coil application-varnished or unvarnished. Enameled Aluminum Wire or Enameled Copper Wire of Hermetic Grade has Excellent suitability for refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Single Coated Wires are suitable for all “H”,”F” and “B” Class application such as dry type transformers, stator winding fractional H.P. motors, D.C field and Armature windings. Polyester coated wires have very good chemical resistance and compatible with all general purpose impregnating varnishes including high temperature modified phenolic polyester and others which do not contain the reactive solvent.

enameled aluminum wire has Round Enameled Aluminum Wire and Rectangular Enameled Aluminum Wire.Each has it’s own benefits.
