[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the year 2017, the Tesla Model S P100DL outperformed all other cars in both Electric Vehicles (EV) and Internal combustion engine (ICE) categories. Tesla’s feat was attributed to the crucial role played by winding wire in its electric engines.
As the automobile industry is moving towards clean mobility, manufacturers are always on the lookout for innovative solutions that meet their specifications to aid driving performance. Choosing the right kind of winding wire becomes a very important decision for EV manufacturers to ensure the efficiency of electric motors.
Motors in EVs require flat winding wires as they need to be compact but also be highly efficient in converting electric energy into mechanical energy. These magnet wires are made of copper which is coated with a heavy insulation material. The insulation material should be quite effective towards developing a high-voltage winding wire.
Leading winding wire manufacturers are innovating by creating technology for producing lighter and thinner wires for EVs. They are also tackling the challenges relating to heat resistance by designing high-voltage wires which improve output.
The motor and battery are the most essential parts of EVs and copper winding wires enable the functioning of these parts. Therefore, you should select the most reliable wire supplier which suits your requirements and offers products that deliver high performance.
5 Point Checklist for Choosing the Right Copper Winding Wire Supplier for EV Manufacturing Needs
Here are some points you should consider while selecting a magnet wire supplier that meets your specifications and quality standards.
1. Customization as per your needs
The supplier should design wires that are customizable based on the features stipulated by your team. They should manufacture wires with a thickness (or height and width) suiting your provisions. A few things that need to be kept in mind while checking a supplier’s credibility are:
- They manufacture thinner and lighter copper insulated winding wires which are rectangular or square.
- They have a wire with appropriate insulation to manage heat resistance which could work at a constant 180-240 degrees environment.
- Their winding wire should be able to endure voltage at high frequency.
- They have an excellent understanding of PDIV (Partial Discharge Inception Voltage)
- They have technical expertise in special products like PAI, Self Bonding, PI class 240

4. Competitive Pricing
You should consider partnering with suppliers who offer top-notch winding wire which meets global standard norms, along with competitive pricing for their products. Occasionally, EV manufacturers tend to zero in on suboptimal wire suppliers who offer a lower price in a bid to cut down on their costs. Look for suppliers who meet your specifications and then finalise on the one that offers the best price.
