Enamelled Copper Wire Spools – Frequently Asked Questions
What is enamelled copper wire?
Enamelled copper wire, also called magnet wire, is copper coated with a thin enamel insulation. It’s used in motors, transformers, solenoids, inductors and other electrical windings.
Why is copper wire used in motors and transformers?
Copper has excellent conductivity and durability. When coated with enamel insulation, it can be wound tightly into coils for efficient performance in motors, transformers and industrial equipment.
What spool sizes do you supply?
We stock trade-size spools from 0.5 kg to 5 kg. Larger spools provide better value and fewer joins compared to small hobby packs, making them ideal for rewinds and coil production.
Is copper wire magnetic?
Pure copper itself is non-magnetic. The term “magnet wire” refers to its use in electromagnetic windings, not to the copper being magnetic.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes – all spools are shipped free from our Adelaide warehouse, with fast delivery across Australia.
