What is Litz wire made of?

Litz wire is used for the helix and variometer in both helix houses. It consists of 9 × 5 × 5 × 27 (totaling 6075) strands of #36 AWG (0.127 mm (0.0050 in) diameter) magnet wire and multiple layers of cotton, hemp, and plastic insulation, in a cable ¾ inch (19 mm) in diameter, totaling 151,875 circular mils of copper.

What does Litz wire do?

Litz wire is a particular type of multistrand wire or cable used in electronics to carry alternating current (AC) at radio frequencies. The wire is designed to reduce the skin effect and proximity effect losses in conductors used at frequencies up to about 1 MHz.

What is USTC wire?

Litz wire, also known as bunched wire, is designed to reduce the skin effect and proximity effect losses in conductors used at frequencies up to about 1 MHz. USTC wire has a nylon top coat over the regular litz wires to enhance the mechanical properties of insulation coat. …
