Magnetic wire, also called a magnet wire or winding wire, is an insulated copper or aluminium wire wound around a durable spool. This enamelled wire is used in the construction of transformers, inductors, electric motors, generators, and other electromagnetic devices. The insulation, typically a thin polymer film, prevents short circuits between closely spaced turns of wire. The primary purpose of magnetic wire is to conduct electrical current while maintaining electrical isolation, creating magnetic fields for various applications. Our range includes copper magnet wire and magnet wire spools in multiple gauges, from very fine wires for delicate applications to thicker wires for high-current demands.
Why Buy Magnet Wire?
Purchasing quality magnet wire is essential for ensuring the efficiency and longevity of electromagnetic devices. The precise insulation and consistent wire gauge contribute to optimal performance, minimising energy losses and preventing premature failures. High-quality magnetic wire allows tighter windings, better heat dissipation, and improved overall device performance, making it particularly beneficial for both professionals and hobbyists.
