How to Choose Between Paper-Insulated Wire and Enameled Wire?

In the current electromagnetic wire product market, both paper-insulated wire and enameled wire are very important product types with wide applications. However, when dealing with customers, we often encounter difficulties in distinguishing and choosing between them. Actually, understanding the following points will solve this problem easily.

Paper-Insulated Wire

First, we need to understand the differences between the two. Enameled wire comes in many varieties, offering superior mechanical properties and heat resistance. It is mainly used in motors, transformers, and other electrical appliances. Paper-insulated wire, on the other hand, is made of insulating paper and conductors, offering good abrasion resistance and excellent voltage withstand performance in oil. It is also less expensive and is mainly used in the manufacture of transformer coils.

Furthermore, enameled wire is superior to paper-insulated wire in terms of water resistance and thermal performance. Therefore, if your application environment has high requirements in these two aspects, you can prioritize enameled wire. Additionally, enameled wire is often used in motors and other electrical appliances.

In general, we need to first understand their similarities and differences, and then make an appropriate choice based on our usage scope and application environment. This way, we can select the right cable for us. Of course, there may be other issues in practice. If we are unsure, consulting the manufacturer is also a very good option.
