Armature (electrical Engineering) - Winding Materials

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:

    Look, he’s winding up the watch of his wit; by and by it will strike.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Kicking his mother until she let go of his soul
    Has given his a healthy appetite: clearly, her role
    In the New Order must be
    To supply and deliver his raw materials free;
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
