Bare Enamelled Copper Wire
Bare Enamelled Copper Wire is a high-quality electrical conductor coated with a thin layer of insulating enamel. It is widely used in electrical and electronic applications where insulation and durability are required without adding bulk. The enamel coating provides excellent resistance to heat, abrasion, and chemicals, making it suitable for winding coils, transformers, motors, and inductors. The bare enamelled copper wire ensures efficient conductivity combined with insulation properties, ideal for both laboratory research and industrial manufacturing processes.
