  2. Magnet wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_wire

    Inductor made with magnet wire wound around a toroidal core. Magnet wire [1] or enameled wire is a copper or aluminium wire coated with a very thin layer of insulation.It is used in the construction of transformers, inductors, motors, generators, speakers, headphones, hard disk head actuators, electromagnets, electric guitar pickups, and other applications that require tight coils of insulated ...

  3. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

    Wire sized 1 AWG is referred to as "one gauge" or "No. 1" wire; similarly, thinner sizes are pronounced "x gauge" or "No. x" wire, where x is the positive-integer AWG number. Consecutive AWG wire sizes thicker than No. 1 wire are designated by the number of zeros: No. 0, often written 1/0 and referred to as "one-aught" or "single-aught" wire

  4. Superconducting wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_wire

    The current sharing temperature T cs is the temperature at which the current transported through the superconductor also starts to flow through the stabilizer. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] However, T cs is not the same as the quench temperature (or critical temperature) T c ; in the former case, there is partial loss of superconductivity, while in the latter ...

  5. Ampacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampacity

    Ampacity rating is normally for continuous current, and short periods of overcurrent occur without harm in most cabling systems. Electrical code rules will give ratings for wiring where short-term loads are present, for example, in a hoisting motor.

  6. Electrical conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conductor

    The ampacity of a conductor, that is, the amount of current it can carry, is related to its electrical resistance: a lower-resistance conductor can carry a larger value of current. The resistance, in turn, is determined by the material the conductor is made from (as described above) and the conductor's size.

  7. Superior Essex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_Essex

    Superior Essex is the parent brand of Essex Solutions, Superior Essex Communications, and Essex Brownell. It has over 3,000 employees in 11 countries. Essex is among the leading [4] global manufacturers of magnet wire. [5]

  8. Rea Magnet Wire Company - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rea_Magnet_Wire_Company

    On January 18, 1960, Rea Magnet Wire was purchased by Alcoa. Sales manager Robert L. “Bob” Whearley—another Dudlo employee—was named President in late 1960 when brothers Samuel and David Rea left the company. Jim Vann, who had been president of Rea since 1982, joined with several others to buy Rea Magnet Wire from Alcoa.

  9. Coercivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coercivity

    The coercivity is a measure of the degree of magnetic hysteresis and therefore characterizes the lossiness of soft magnetic materials for their common applications. The saturation remanence and coercivity are figures of merit for hard magnets, although maximum energy product is also commonly quoted.
