Storing Enamelled Aluminum Wire
To ensure the quality and prolong the lifespan of enamelled aluminum wire, proper storage methods are crucial. Below are the best practices for storing enamelled aluminum wire:
Storage Points | Description |
Maintain a Dry Environment | Enamelled aluminum wire is sensitive to moisture. High humidity can lead to corrosion of the wire and damage to the insulation layer. It should be stored in a dry, low-humidity environment. |
Temperature Control | Store in a temperature-stable, cool environment, avoiding extreme temperatures or temperature fluctuations to prevent cracking or degradation of the enamel coating. |
Avoid Direct Sunlight | Avoid exposing the wire to direct sunlight or ultraviolet radiation to prevent damage to the insulation coating. It should be stored in a shaded area. |
Proper Winding and Tension | Ensure the wire on the spool is wound with even tension. Avoid excessive or insufficient tension, as it may lead to wire bending, tangling, or coating damage. |
Clean Environment | The storage environment should be clean and dust-free to prevent dirt or dust particles from contaminating the insulation layer, which could affect electrical conductivity. |
Avoid Mechanical Damage | Keep the wire away from sharp objects or heavy items to prevent scratches or damage to the insulation coating. Handle with care during transportation. |
Store Spools Vertically | Spools should be stored vertically to prevent the wire from shifting or tangling, maintaining storage order and wire integrity. |
Sealed Protection | If possible, store spools in sealed plastic bags or containers to further prevent moisture and contamination. |
