Learn the simple method to identify copper and aluminum magnet wires!
Steel is a commodity that is affected by market regulation factors. Due to the soaring prices of non-ferrous metals, many merchants engaged in the business of electromagnetic wire copper wire have been complaining that motor copper wire is an indispensable and important component. Now there are many claims in the market that aluminum wire should replace copper wire, and aluminum wire motors that counter each other have emerged. So what is the difference between copper wire motors and aluminum wire motors? How to identify them? In fact, it is not difficult to distinguish them as long as we look at its metal principle.

1. Since the resistance of aluminum wire of the same area is higher than that of copper wire, if we want to obtain equal current in the motor operation, we need to increase the cross-sectional area of the aluminum wire, and we can intuitively find that its diameter will increase.
Due to the different physical properties of different metals, aluminum wire cannot have good tensile properties like copper wire. The aluminum wire of motors with the same power is relatively thicker.
3. In order to obtain the same business capacity, the wire diameter of the aluminum wire should be thickened, and the bypass resistance will increase. The original customized wire slot is not enough to be fully embedded. In order to expand the demand for wire slots, the diameter and thickness of the stator are increased.
From an intuitive point of view, we can easily identify whether the motor is made of copper wire or aluminum wire by appearance, and we can get satisfactory results through simple measurements.
