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 wires, overall diameters are larger and copper density is lower than on a solid conductor equivalent d…Read More
UL certifications for winding wires can be confusing for those that don’t deal with safety certifications on a regular basis. This article will attempt to clarify what those certifications mean and how winding wires can be used based on those certifications. UL certifications for winding wires can…Read More
For many years, IEC 60950-1 and its UL equivalent, UL 60950-1, have served as the governing safety standards for Information Technology Equipment (ITE), or more simply put, consumer electronics and electronic components. As of December 20th, 2020 though, IEC 60950-1 was replaced by IEC 62368-1 and U…Read More
When designing or selecting an insulated winding wire for use in a wound component, it is important to consider all of the following: What is the range of operating temperatures that the product will see in your application? What temperatures will the wire be subjected to in downstream manufac…Read More

When designing or selecting a Litz wire conductor for use in a winding, it is important to consider which grades of Litz wire are likely to be the most appropriate for your application. Not all Litz wires are created equal, and different grades of magnet wire can offer a variety of advantages…Read More
As electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers look to decrease the charging times for their vehicles and to increase overall energy efficiency, higher system voltages become necessary for the continued evolution of those vehicles. Magnetic components and the windings used in those components also need to b…Read More
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 conductor from abrasion during further processing. The serve acts as a phys…Read More
