Rectangular enameled aluminum wire is produced using special-sized molds, creating a rectangular enameled conductor with rounded corners. The conductor can be made of copper, aluminum, or CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum). Compared to copper enameled wire, enameled aluminum wire is easier to wind, and its surface is coated with a robust oxide layer, providing excellent insulation and ensuring a longer lifespan.

In comparison to enameled aluminum round wire, enameled aluminum flat wire is easier to arrange, saving space, offering more flexible wiring, providing better heat dissipation, and achieving higher material utilization. Signi is currently designated as a supplier by renowned companies such as ABB, Chint, Huawei, BYD, Ericsson, and others.

Advantages of enamelled flat aluminum wire

  • Excellent Heat Stability: The enameled aluminum flat wire exhibits outstanding heat stability, maintaining stable performance in high-temperature environments without being significantly affected by temperature variations. This makes it suitable for various electrical devices with demanding temperature requirements.
  • Excellent Dielectric and Mechanical Properties: The enameled aluminum flat wire excels not only in electrical insulation but also in mechanical performance, contributing to the reliability and longevity of electrical equipment.
  • Chemical Resistance: The enameled aluminum flat wire demonstrates excellent resistance to common solvents and coolants. In industrial environments, it maintains stable performance, resisting corrosion from chemical substances.
  • Good Insulation: With a conductor cross-section yield of 97%, and similar thickness of corner and surface enamel films, it facilitates insulation maintenance in coil winding.
  • Low Friction Coefficient: When inserted into slots, the enameled aluminum flat wire exhibits better sliding performance due to its flat cross-section, reducing the friction coefficient and enhancing the efficiency and performance of electrical equipment.
  • High Conductivity: With a larger surface area compared to enameled round wire at the same cross-sectional area, it reduces the "skin effect" and is suitable for high-frequency conduction work.

Enameled aluminum flat wire vs. enameled copper flat wire

  • Easy to wind: Enameled aluminum flat wire is easier to wind, which provides greater flexibility in the manufacturing and wiring process of electrical equipment.
  • Good insulation effect: There is a strong oxide film on the surface of the enameled aluminum wire, which provides good insulation effect and makes it have a long life in use.
  • High heat-resistant temperature: Due to the insulation effect of the aluminum film layer, the heat-resistant temperature of enameled aluminum flat wire can be 20 degrees higher than that of enameled copper flat wire.
  • Lightweight: Aluminum is one-third lighter than copper. Using enameled aluminum flat wires can significantly reduce the weight of electrical equipment and reduce production costs.
  • Adhesion: Aluminum conductors adhere easily to solid objects, helping to improve connectivity and conductivity.
  • Reduced transportation costs: Due to the lightweight properties of aluminum, enameled aluminum flat wires can reduce freight and transportation costs during transportation.

Signi's wire enamel quality control system includes

  • Raw material inspection: Rigorous standards are applied to select high-quality aluminum rods, ensuring the base material's superior quality. This step is fundamental to ensuring the performance and reliability of the final product, as the quality of the aluminum rods directly affects the end product.
  • Drawing inspection: Emphasis is placed on the high quality and reliability of the insulated conductor. This involves precise selection of raw materials, considering not only the production process but also meeting design specifications to satisfy customer requirements.
  • Semi-finished product production inspection: Before coating, processes like drawing (for round wire) or flattening (for rectangular wire) are employed to adjust the dimensions of the conductor (copper or aluminum). This step ensures the uniformity of the conductor and compliance with specifications, providing a solid foundation for subsequent enamel coating.
  • Finished product inspection: Particular focus is given to ensuring the quality of winding wires, the most critical part of the product where no compromises can be tolerated. Signi adheres to recognized IEC standards as the minimum quality benchmark to ensure that each finished product meets internationally accepted quality standards.
  • Packaging and labeling inspection: The production is integrated with a reviewed quality control system to ensure that product packaging complies with specifications. This is supported by a well-trained technical team and fully equipped laboratory facilities.
  • Up to 13 testing items: To ensure the reliability of wire enamel in its final use in motors, transformers, or coils, Signi conducts up to 13 testing items. With a comprehensive quality control and packaging system, the company ensures that any product issues can be traced and provides customers with a more reliable guarantee.
