Magnet Wire

Magnet wire, also known as winding wire or enamelled wire, is a type of electrical wire that is used for creating coils or windings in various electrical devices. It is typically made of copper or aluminum and is coated with a thin layer of insulation, usually made of enamel or varnish.

Magnet wire is commonly used in applications where the wire needs to carry electrical current while being tightly wound or coiled, such as in transformers, motors, generators, and inductors. The insulation on the wire helps to prevent short circuits and electrical leakage.

The size or gauge of magnet wire can vary depending on the specific application and the amount of current it needs to carry. It is available in a range of diameters, from very thin wire used in small electronic devices to thicker wire used in larger electrical equipment.

Magnet wire is an essential component in the manufacturing and operation of many electrical devices, providing a reliable and efficient means of conducting electricity in a compact and space-saving manner.
