 |
| The TIW (Triple Insulated Winding
Wire) was developed by Totoku Electric Co.,Ltd. in switching power transformers. |
 |
 |
 |
Features |
The insulation of the wire, which is made
up of three layers, completely isolates the primary from secondary of the trans-former. |
|
Unlike conventional enamelled wires, TIW
is classified as a wire with reinforced insulation as generally provided for in
va-rious safety standards. Therefore, it eliminates barriers, inter-layer tapes
or insulating tubes in the transformer. |
|
In addition to the reduction in size and
economy in material cost of the tramsformer made, TIW has an advantage of im-proving
its performance by reducing the distance between the coils. |
|
In joining the wires the insulation can be
easily stripped off by manual operation.Therefore, the fusing of the three layers
of insulation that may occur in soldering can be avoided. Fur-thermore, the insulation
of TIW is strong enough to withstand high-speed winding on the automatic wire
winder. For the satisfaction of the specific reguirement of customers, four types
of TIW are available. |
|
 |
|
|
TIW-2
: |
Insulated with three layers
of Class E tape. General-purpose product with a creeping distance enough for 1000V
AC. Smallest outside diameter among the four types. |
|
TIW-3
: |
Insulated with three layers
of Class F tape. With a creeping distance enough for 1000V AC. Available is a
wide variety of combinations of the wire with bobbin and impregnating materials. |
|
TIW-4
: |
Insulated with three layers
of Class H tape. With a creeping distance enough for 1000V AC. Highest re-sistance
to heat among the four types. |
|
TIW-E
: |
Insulated with three layers
of extruded Class B fluoric resin. Excellent in the resistance to voltage such
as corona starting voltage. |

By eliminating the
barriers,interlayer tapes
and insulating tapes of the transformer,
TIW contributes to its miniaturigation,
material cost reduction
and performance improvement. |
