Abstract
Electric coils wound with an aluminum foil conductor are commercially available and can now replace many copper magnet wire coils in the No. 26 AWG or larger copper wire size range. High-speed, completely automatic foil coil winding machinery has been developed to wind coils at a production rate comparable to the most modern copper wire coil winding machines.
The excellent supply, availability, and price stability of aluminum, along with new developments in coil design and winding technology, make aluminum foil an excellent conductor for the electric coil market.
