Hello Mike, Geri and all,
be careful when using terms in different laguages.
Mike> Litz wire usually has each strand insulated from the
Mike> others, is your wire the same, Geri?<
Geri> ... no, unfortunately not ... seems to be just the name
Geri> "Litze" that was adopted from the "Litz" wire ... but as
Geri> I said .. still does the job at LF!
english;german;type and makeup of conductor
solid wire;Draht;single conductor either uninsulated or covered
by an insulating sleeve.
stranded wire;Litze;a number of individual solid wires are woven
in spiral orientation, individual wires are in electrical contact to each
other, an insulating sleeve covers the whole strand.
litz-wire;HF-Litze;a number of individual solid wires, each having its own
insulation are inter-woven in a manner very
much different from the scheeme of stranded wire. An additional
sleeve covers the wires collectively.
Geri made up his Loading coil of stranded wire - i.e. the
indivdual wires are in electrical contact with each other, one insulating
sleeve covers the whole strand.
Hope this helps.
