Winding Materials
The electrical energy efficiency of a motor can be improved by reducing the electrical losses in the coil (e.g., by using materials with higher electrical conductivities). Armature wiring is made from copper or aluminum. Copper armature wiring enhances electrical efficiencies due to its higher electrical conductivity (See: Copper in energy efficient motors). Aluminum armature wiring is lighter and less expensive than copper.

Famous quotes containing the words winding and/or materials:
“He’s winding up the watch of his wit. By and by it will strike.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Realism to be effective must be a matter of selection. ... genius chooses its materials with a view to their beauty and effectiveness; mere talent copies what it thinks is nature, only to find it has been deceived by the external grossness of things.”
—Julia Marlowe (1866–1950)
