18 gauge magnet wire

Have you ever wondered how electricity works? Electricity is almost like magic the way it works! It can power lights, make all your favorite toys work, and even run huge machines. This magical magic comes from a so-called electric current. Flow of energy along specific paths called wires is known as electric current. It is similar to water flowing through conduits. If you think of wires as the pipe carrying electrical energy, then to ensure that the electricity is carried through safely, you must use some sort of hard material. Enter something known as YUHENG magnet wire. Magnet wire, also known as winding wire is a unique type of insulated wire that primarily used in the electrical projects to carry the electric current. We will learn about a very common size of magnet wire that you might hear called 18 awg magnet wire

Understanding 18 Gauge Magnet Wire

So, let us explore a bit more on what 18 awg magnet wire is. This particular wire is indeed 18 thousands of an inch in diameter. Which is just another way of saying it is light and not too thick or thin; it is the perfect consistency. Gauge is a term used to describe the thickness of the wire. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire. Thus, for example, because the 18 gauge wire has the number 18 associated to it, this type of wire is good for all types of things that are electrical. This YUHENG enamel coated magnet wire is basically designed from copper that is excellent conductor to the electricity. And it has a special coating that allows it to be able to deal with rust and wear over the years. This covering is known as enamel. It is quite important this enamel coating as this wire needs to transmit electric current without loss of energy during a transfer.
