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.
