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 of current in a Litz wire conductor, due to skin effect and proximity effect losses, increases th…Read More
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 wires that each test method should be used for. First, however, it would be pruden…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
