The wires that are associated with most motor and generator windings are copper magnet wires. For some special application machines, there are other wire types that have been used, such as Litz wire (very fine woven strands) or lead wire. In this article, we will address some issues relating to magnet wire type conversions and combinations. The term magnet wire brings to mind the thought that the wire is somehow "magnetic," which is not the case. The reason for the name is that it is wire used in magnetic coils. Thus, they are coils that make use of electro-magnetism. The two physical types are round and rectangular magnet wire. Strictly speaking, square wire is a form of rectangular wire. Topics covered in this article:

  • Rectangular to round wire conversion
  • Metric and AWG wire conversions
  • Wire size combinations
