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 to accommodate the smaller package sizes. The reduction in size was achieved by re…Read More
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
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 application? What temperatures will the wire be subjected to in downstream manufacturing proces…Read More
