Enameled Wire

Enameled wire, Litz wire is a type of cable used in electronics to carry alternating current. The wire is designed to reduce the skin effect and proximity effect losses in conductors used at frequencies up to about 1 MHz. It consists of many thin wire strands, individually insulated and twisted bunched, grouped or braided woven together, as per the specific design and application. This often involves several levels (groups of twisted wires are twisted together etc.). This winding pattern equalizes the proportion of the overall length over which each strand is at the outside of the conductor. The individually insulated copper strands are basically the insulated magnet wires laid in form of cable strands.
