What we sell
Super-enamelled copper winding wire in the gauges a rewinding shop actually uses, wound on spools and cut to weight. Alongside it: slot insulation paper, fibreglass and cotton sleeving, polyester and cotton tape, lacing cord, terminal leads, and air-drying and baking varnish. If you are winding, it is on the counter.
Copper, not copper-clad
We stock enamelled copper. Copper-clad aluminium is cheaper by weight and it is not the same wire: it carries less current for the same section, so a winding that used it runs hotter for the same load and reaches the insulation’s temperature limit sooner. It has its uses, and a motor that will be reloaded to its nameplate is not one of them. We will tell you which one you are buying.
Bought by the kilo, checked on the scale
Wire is sold by weight and the price moves with the copper market, so we quote on the day rather than off a printed list. The scale is on the counter and you are welcome to watch it. Gauge is stated in SWG, which is what the trade here works in — the conversion to millimetres is on the reference table below if you need it for a datasheet.
