Manual A simple manual wire stripper is a pair of opposing blades much like scissors or wire cutters . The addition of a center notch makes it easier to cut the insulation without cutting the wire. This type of wire stripper is used by rotating it around the insulation while applying pressure in order to make a cut around the insulation. Since the insulation is not bonded to the wire, it then pulls easily off the end. This is the most versatile type of wire stripper. Another type of manual wire stripper is very similar to the simple design previously mentioned, except this type has several notches of varying size. This allows the user to match the notch size to the wire size, thereby eliminating the need for twisting. Once the device is clamped on, the remainder of the wire can simply be pulled out, leaving the insulation behind. Automatic When engaged, an automatic wire stripper simultaneously grips the wire from one side and cuts and removes the insulation from the other. To use it, one simply has to place the wire in the jaws and squeeze ... drawbacks. An automatic wire stripper only works on wires in a certain size range. If a wire is too small it may be broken by the pulling force, and if a wire is too large it will not fit in the jaws. When stripping the wire, an individual should grip and pull outwards to prevent injury. Mechanised automatic wire strippers can strip 10 gauge or thicker wires.

mergeto magnet wire discuss Talk Magnet Wire Merger proposal date January 2011 Enameled wire is wire such as magnet wire coated with a very thin insulating layer. It is used in applications such as winding electric motor coil s, speakers and transformer s. It is also used in the construction of electromagnet s and inductor s. The core material is copper or aluminum , coated with a thin layer of a polyurethane , polyamide , or polyester etc resin the so called enamel . Aluminum is lighter than copper, but has higher resistivity . For ease of manufacturing inductive components like transformers and inductors, most new enameled wire has enamel that acts as a flux when burnt during soldering . This means that the electrical connections at the ends can be made without stripping off the Electrical insulation insulation first. Older enameled copper wire is normally not like this, and requires sandpapering or scraping to remove the insulation before soldering . Enameled wires are classified by their diameter American wire gauge AWG number or Standard wire gauge SWG or area square millimetres , temperature class and insulation class. Enameled wires are manufactured in both round and rectangular shapes. Rectangular wire is used in larger windings to make the most efficient use of available winding space. Also aluminium wire is coated with enamel Breakdown voltage depends on the thickness of the covering, which can be of 3 types Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3. Higher grades have thicker insulation and thus higher Electrical breakdown breakdown voltage s. The temperature class indicates the temperature of the wire where it has a 20,000 hour service life .
