-
Highly Flexible
A highly flexible design improves the installation process. This also enables new design innovation otherwise not possible with more rigid materials. The malleable rectangular shape fills any gaps, leading to higher power and torque.
-
High Temperature
The extruded outer layer provides excellent heat resistance and reliability. The unique design can run at a constant temperature of 240°C without any reduced performance. Allows for high voltages of over 1,000V without partial discharge (PDIV).
-
Highly Customizable
Designed to meet specific customer requirements with tight tolerances and no room for imperfections. Varieties of thickness in height and width allow for implementation within new and existing motor technology.
Reduced Carbon Impact
HVWW® is the best choice for customers in the automotive industry that are looking to reduce their carbon impact. Both the production process and material construction result in fewer carbon emissions when compared to traditional magnet wire.
Essex Furukawa is committed to lessening our own carbon footprint through a holistic sustainability initiative, Vision 2030: A Sustainable Future, Our Driving Force.
The Power of Two Pioneering Industry Leaders
Essex Furukawa Magnet Wire was established in 2017 as a joint venture between Essex in Germany and Furukawa Electric, providing HVWW® to the European market, for the automotive industry in Europe.
HVWW® earned first place in the 2017 Magna Innovation Award as a joint entry with Solvay’s KetaSpire PEEK polymer. The new technology enables more durable, efficient and downsized large electric traction motors running at higher voltages and currents and speed the time-to-market of major advances in automotive engineering.
Due to the success of this partnership, Essex Furukawa has now expanded to the global market.
Essex Furukawa is built upon the presence of Essex leadership in the European automotive market, global supply chain, and European sales force. The local manufacturing capability combined with Furukawa’s technical expertise of magnet wire and high voltage winding wire, including extruded winding wire.
HVWW® Outperforms Mono-Layer (PEEK)
HVWW® features a unique product construction of heat-resistant enameled copper wire over which an extruded resin layer is added, resulting in a magnet wire product that is highly customizable and unparalleled in performance.
HVWW® has excellent windability due to its highly flexible design, durable insulation, and excellent adhesion between the Copper, PAI, and PEEK layers which improves the installation process. It will be able to increase the Partial Discharge Inception Voltage to meet any requirement of motor driving voltage and environment condition due to increase the Coating Thickness.
For performance and reliability in electric vehicle applications, the choice is clear.
