Product Overview

The AIW-BP composite enameled aluminum wire uses a dual-layer insulation system: a polyester-imide base coat overcoated with polyamide-imide. This composite construction raises the thermal class while substantially improving resistance to corona discharge, voltage spikes and inverter harmonics, which are the principal failure modes in motors driven by variable-frequency controllers.

Combining that insulation performance with an aluminium conductor gives a lightweight, cost-efficient wire for inverter-driven motors, transformers and renewable-energy equipment. It is supplied from 0.13 to 3.50 mm in thermal classes 180, 200 and 220.

Key Advantages

  • Dual manufacturing hubs in Changzhou and Foshan, China, covering both fine-gauge and heavy-gauge production.
  • Full production range from 0.04 mm to 2.50 mm, supporting everything from micro-motors to large power equipment.
  • Monthly output of approximately 3,000 tons, with stable capacity for repeat and high-volume programmes.
  • ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified quality and environmental management systems.
  • RoHS and REACH compliant insulation systems for European and North American markets.
  • Wire manufactured in accordance with IEC, NEMA, GB and JIS international standards.
  • Composite polyester-imide / polyamide-imide insulation for corona and inverter duty.
  • Aluminium conductor reduces weight by approximately 60% at equal volume.
  • Suitable for PWM-driven motors exposed to steep voltage transients.

Product Features

  • Composite two-layer insulation with high thermal class.
  • Improved resistance to corona discharge and voltage spikes.
  • Good chemical and refrigerant resistance.
  • High breakdown voltage and reliable dielectric performance.
  • Lightweight aluminium conductor for reduced rotating mass.
  • Stable performance under continuous inverter operation.

Typical Applications

  • Inverter-driven and variable-frequency motors.
  • Corona-resistant windings for high-voltage equipment.
  • New-energy and traction motor windings.
  • Wind power and photovoltaic generation equipment.
  • Transformers and reactors where weight reduction is critical.

Overseas customers normally work with the international codes (UEW, PEW, EIW, AIW). When specifying a grade, please state the international code together with the required thermal class, for example UEW 155 °C or EI/AIW 200 °C.

FAQ

Q
What is corona resistance and why does it matter?
Corona is partial electrical discharge that erodes enamel insulation, and it is accelerated by the steep voltage pulses produced by variable-frequency drives. The polyamide-imide overcoat in this composite wire substantially raises corona inception voltage, extending insulation life in inverter-driven motors.
Q
Can this wire be used in VFD applications?
Yes. The AIW-BP composite construction is specifically engineered for inverter and variable-frequency duty, and is commonly selected for motors driven by PWM controllers in new-energy and industrial applications.
Q
Can you produce custom diameters, colours and thermal classes?
Yes. As a manufacturer operating two production bases, we can customise conductor diameter, enamel build, colour and thermal class to match your drawing or reference sample. Send us your specification and we will confirm feasibility and tooling lead time.
Q
Do you provide samples for evaluation?
Yes. Standard specifications can be supplied as free samples for qualification testing; freight is normally arranged on a collect basis. Customised specifications may require a small sample charge, which is credited against your first bulk order.
Q
What is the typical lead time?
Standard specifications are typically dispatched within 7 to 15 working days after order confirmation. Lead time for customised or high-volume orders is confirmed at the quotation stage.
Q
How is the wire packed for export?
Wire is wound on plastic or plywood spools, individually wrapped to prevent moisture and mechanical damage, then packed in carton boxes on pallets or in plywood cases. Packing is suitable for both sea and air freight, and customised spool sizes and pallet configurations are available.
Q
What documentation is supplied with each shipment?
Each shipment is accompanied by a packing list, commercial invoice and certificate of origin where applicable. Inspection and test reports covering conductor diameter, enamel thickness, elongation, flexibility and breakdown voltage can be provided on request.
