TYPES AND SHAPES OF WINDING WIRES: The winding wires used in electrical motors are

classified as follows. 1) Round wires 2) Rectangular straps 3) Stranded wires

1. Round Wires: It has thin and thick conductors and are used in semi-closed slot type motors and
mush
winding rotors. It is wounded in reels and available in Kilograms.
2. Rectangular straps: It is used in open type slot motors. These conductors are available as long
straps in
meters. They are used in the following places. 1) Low voltage motor windings. 2) Used as conductor
in high
current motor. 3) Series field motor winding coils.
