What Are Enamelled / Fibreglass-Covered Copper Winding Wires?

These are specialised copper conductors coated with enamel or wrapped with layers of fibreglass insulation. The insulation is then varnish-treated for added mechanical strength, heat resistance, and dielectric performance.

Types Available
  • Fibreglass Covered (Single / Double Covering)
  • Round & Rectangular Winding Wires

These wires offer stable performance in F Class (155°C) and H Class (180°C) electrical machinery.

Key Benefits of Fibreglass-Covered Copper Wire
  • High Temperature Resistance
    Perfect for motors, transformers & generators operating in harsh conditions.
  • Superior Mechanical Strength
    Fibreglass insulation provides protection from vibration, abrasion, and mechanical stress.
  • Excellent Electrical Performance
    High BDV values ensure safe operation under electrical load.
  • Moisture & Chemical Resistance
    Ideal for submersible motor winding applications.
  • Long Life & Reliability
    Varnish-treated glass covering improves insulation bonding and durability.
  • Suitable for Heavy-Duty Operations
    Used in industrial-grade winding systems requiring maximum performance.
