Enameled Wires



Enameled Wires


Enameled wire is a thin wire insulated with the help of coating. The core material used in it is copper and it is covered with a thin layer of enamel. It is primarily used in electric motor coils. It produces magnetic flux when electricity passes through it. Though enameled wire is insulated but there is no need of stripping off the insulation as for other insulated wires. These wires can be soldered as well.



Enameled Wires

Uses of Enameled wires

* Enameled wire is used in motor coils.
* Enameled wire is used in the construction of electromagnets.
* Enameled wire is also used in construction of transformers and inductors.

Properties of Enameled Wires

* Enameled wires have excellent resistance to heat. That's why they are used in making electric coils. They are also resistant to heat shock.
* They are also resistant to wearing and tearing.
* They offer especially magnificent resistance to refrigerant materials.
* They are smooth, hard, and durable.
* They are chemically resistant, and cannot burn.

Application of Enameled Wires

* Enameled wires are appropriate to be used in compressor motors of freezer, refrigerator and air conditioner.
* They are also best suited to be used in the motors which operate at high temperature, high speed. They are also suitable for those motors which require repeated starting.
* They are applied in hermetical motors and coils of electrical devices.
* They are suitable for those applications where high speed automatic winding is needed.


Types of Enameled Wires
On the basis of materials used in making the core of the wire the enameled wire can be divided into two types. Mainly aluminum and copper is used as the major material for these wires. Sometimes copper-clad aluminum wire is also used.

* Enameled Aluminum Wires: In this category of enameled wires the core material used in the conductor is aluminum. They have very good electric conductivity and are low weight. These wires have high hot impact performance. The enameled aluminum wires are ideal for electric machinery with short and periodic workloads.

* Enameled Copper Wires: The material used in making conductor in this type of wire is copper. These enameled wires have high thermal resistance and are thermally stable. They are resistance to freon. They are resistant to high overload and can bear high heat shock. They are used for smoke and heat exhaust motors and inverter-driven motors.

Classification of Enameled Wires
Enameled wires are classified on three basis. They are classified by

* Diameter
* Temperature
* Isolation

Control Cables


Control Cables



Control Cables is generally used in the electric utility, industrial and commercial market place. Copper Cable is used in control circuits, power circuits, in assembly lines, in production lines etc. It is used to transmit currents that directly cause operation of some machinery parts like relays, solenoids, motor starters, or circuit breakers. It is suitable for dry, moist and wet areas and also suitable for outdoor applications.

These control cables serve for long time and they offer the type of quality and reliability needed for consistency. Even in harshest environments they ensure top performance. They are available with multiple armoring and jacketing options which make them ideal for all industries.




Properties of Signal Control Cables

They are resistant to mineral oils and synthetic oils.
They are also resistant to refrigerants.
There is no effect of any type of radiation or gases on these cables. They are resistant to UV-radiation, ozone and oxygen.
They are highly abrasion resistance, notch resistant, tear and cut-resistant.
Applications of Control Cables
Control cables is used in a number of different industries. It is used for variety of functions and purposes. Some of the main industries where it is used:
Automation Industry
Wastewater Treatment
Tool Making Machinery
Conveyor Systems
Air Conditioning
Iron Industry
Steel Industry
Chemical Industry
Mining Industry
Cement Industry
Types of Control Cables:

Sheathed Control Cable
PVC Insulated Control Cable
Plastic Insulated Control Cable
Silicone Control Cable
Flame Resistant Control Cable
Signal Control Cable
Push Pull Control Cable
Signal Control Cable
Signal control cables are required for industrial instrumentation and control applications. These rugged, multi-conductor cables are specialized for industrial environments. They are used for a number of applications like connections of electronic devices. Also used for monitoring, electric, metering and automatic devices system.

The conductor used in these wires is made of copper or high strength copper alloys. These cables are insulated from certain materials which include Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polyurethane, PVC, Nylon and FEP. The cable jacket is needed for prevention from chemical or abrasion resistance. The material used include Polyurethanes, PVC, ETFE and FEP as needed by the application.


Silicone Control Cable
Silicon control cables are high temperature multi-conductor cables. They are especially used at those places where high temperatures quickly cause other cables to deteriorate and fail. Generally they are halogen free and flame retardant. They are preferred where PVC insulated cables are more prone to damage due to more temperatures fluctuations.

Features of Silicone Control Cable
The material used to insulate these cables is mainly silicone rubber. It has several properties which help it to be used in extreme conditions.
It is resistant to animal fat and vegetable fat, different types of oil and diluted acids.
It is also resistant to ultra violet rays.
When it came in contact with different alcohols or alkaline solutions, no decomposition occurs at all.
It is flexible as well as cost effective.
It is also resistant to oxygen and ozone.
Even if by chance the cables burn a protective layer of silicone dioxide will remain on the conductor to prevent it from short circuiting.
Applications of Silicone Control Cables
Due to their excellent properties in extreme conditions and atmosphere they are used in a number of industries for varieties of purposes. Their uses include:

Foundries
Metallurgical Industries
Steel Mills
Glass Factories
Plastic Factories
Furnaces
Commercial Baking Equipment
Other High Temperature Operations.
Sheathed Control Cable
Sheathed control cables are used for a lot of applications and in numerous fields. They are specially used at those places where the damage to cables is likely to occur. The damage to the cables or wires may be due to fire, scratches, stretching, pressure, heat etc. These cables are covered with such a stiff material that they can withstand the outer effects for quite a sometime without the cables being damaged.

A sheathed control cables consists of four main layers. The innermost layer is the conductor itself. Surrounding it is a cable-guide duct of a material which has a low coefficient of friction. Then there is an armoring surrounding the cables-guide duct, and finally there is an outer sheath providing mechanical protection. A number of industries like automobile, machine tools, heavy electrical, and various other manufacturing industries use sheath cables.
