Enamelled Copper WIre , 0.02-0.5mm diameter of strands litz type magnet wire
Litz wire conductors are beneficial for reducing A.C. losses in
high frequency windings. The first consideration in any design
regarding Litz wire is the operating frequency. The operating
frequency not only influences the actual construction details of
the copper magnet wire, but is also used to determine the
individual strand size of the Litz wire construction. All Litz
constructions will exhibit some skin effect due to the limitations
of stranding. Higher frequency ranges require more strands of a
finer gauge size than Litz wires of equal cross sectional area but
composed of fewer and larger strands.
The enamels commonly used for insulating individual strands are
Polyurethane and Polyurethane with a Nylon topcoat because of the
low electrical losses and ease of solderability. Other insulations
can also be used. In many cases, Litz is insulated with an overall
single or double wrap or serving, of a textile, but are also
available unserved.
