  FOCUS ON INCREASING ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF AUTOMOTIVE MAGNET WIRES AND ENHANCING MOTOR LONGEVITY

  
  

Energy efficiency contributes to perpetual development and economic growth. The excellent electrical and thermal conductivity of copper serves as the foundation for energy efficiency. Because copper is the most effective nonprecious conductor of heat and electricity, copper-containing items work more efficiently. One of the primary magnet wire market factors that is projected to have a favourable influence on the industry during the forecast period is the increased focus on energy-efficient automotive magnet wires. During the energy transformation process, a significant quantity of energy is lost as heat. As a result, manufacturers are focused on improving the efficiency of equipment such as motors, which is driving the need for highly efficient magnet wire, which has the ability to minimise electrical energy consumption in a motor. Manufacturers are also concentrating on providing automotive magnet wire with greater thermal efficiency. The growing requirement for efficient traction motors in NEVs, as well as the implementation of regenerative braking systems in automobiles, will drive up demand for energy-efficient magnet wires.

Furthermore, the thermal and electrical characteristics of the insulating layer on automotive magnet wires have a considerable influence on the longevity of the electric motor. When the instantaneous overlapping voltage, known as surge voltage, in a high-speed switching inverter-fed motor exceeds the partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV), the insulation layer is deteriorated by partial discharge (PD), resulting in insulation breakdown. As a result, surge-resistant enamelled wire has gained popularity as a means of extending the lifespan of different inverter-fed motor mounted electric devices, such as electric automobiles. Nanosized inorganic fillers are employed in the insulating layer to preserve it from deterioration. Polymer nanocomposites are a new category of insulating materials with improved electrical, thermal, and mechanical characteristics. According to research, such materials might replace traditional polymers in insulation for a number of industrial high voltage applications. New nanomaterials are being incorporated into enamels, which serve as insulating layers in wires. This can result in improved or even novel qualities, such as decreased coefficients of friction or increased corona resistance. Developments for fostering longevity in motors include corona-resistant enamels, self-lubricated and high-abrasion-resistance coatings used in automotive magnet wires. Hence the increasing focus on energy-efficiency of automotive magnet wires and enhancing motor longevity is expected to drive automotive magnet wire market revenue demand during the forecast period.
