Enamelled Copper Wire

Enamel Copper Wire

Enameled wire also known as Magnet wire is a copper wire coated with a thin insulation and is a principal component of transformers, inductors, motors, and other electrical devices. The enamel is typically a polymer film that provides a tough continuous layer of insulation. This thin layer of insulation makes it useful for building transformers, motors, inductors, hard disk actuators, speakers, electromagnets etc.

The main reason for using this coating or “enamel” is to prevent the wire from getting caught in accidental short circuits. This also explains why you should use this type of wiring for building transformers, inductors and electromagnets. The enamelled copper wire is also useful because it can be soldered easily.
