READ MOREMotor lead wires are the critical link between a motor's internal windings and the external power source. Because they reside within or in close proximity to the motor housing, they are subjected to constant heat, electromagnetic stress, and potential chemical exposure from varnishes. Motor lead wires from Jiangsu Silver& Tin Thread Hi-temperature Wire and Cables Co., Ltd. are engineered to exceed the standard demands of industrial motors, transformers, and generators, providing a high-performance solution for Class F, Class H, and even Class N thermal requirements.
The direct conclusion for motor manufacturers is that insulation compatibility with impregnation resins is the most vital factor in wire selection. Our motor lead wires, utilizing Silicone Rubber, Fluoroplastics (Teflon), and XLPE, ensure that the insulation remains intact and flexible after the vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) process, maintaining a stable operating range from -60°C to +250°C.
Selecting a motor lead wire requires balancing flexibility with thermal endurance. Below is a comparison of common materials used in our high-temperature motor lead series:
| Insulation Material | Thermal Class | Voltage Rating | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silicone Rubber (JG/JGG) | Class H (180°C) | 500V - 10KV | Superior Flexibility |
| Fluoroplastic (FEP/PFA) | Class N (200°C-250°C) | 600V | Chemical & Acid Proof |
| XLPE (Cross-linked) | Class B/F (125°C-150°C) | 600V - 3.3KV | Cost-effective / Tough |
| Silicone + Fiberglass Braid | Class H (180°C) | Up to 10KV | High Abrasion Resistance |
At Jiangsu Silver& Tin Thread, we focus on the microscopic details that prevent motor failures and extend service life.
Motor leads must be flexible enough to be routed through tight housings without kinking. We utilize Class 5 or Class 6 fine-stranded tinned copper. The tin plating provides a barrier against oxidation caused by high heat and moisture, ensuring low contact resistance at terminals for the life of the motor.
One of the most common causes of motor lead failure is the "softening" of insulation when it reacts with baking varnishes. Our Teflon and modified Silicone insulation compounds are chemically stable and non-reactive, ensuring they do not peel or degrade during the motor's curing and dipping phases.
Our "Yuanzhi" brand motor lead wires are utilized in high-demand power systems worldwide:
Since 1994, Jiangsu Silver& Tin Thread Hi-temperature Wire and Cables Co., Ltd. has been a specialized leader in high-temperature wire technology. We are an ISO9001 and IATF 16949 certified manufacturer, ensuring that our products meet the strict quality controls required by the global automotive and industrial sectors.
Every batch of motor lead wire undergoes high-voltage spark testing and aging tests in our dedicated laboratory. We hold UL, CE, CCC, and RoHS safety listings. To ensure the ultimate security for our partners, all "Yuanzhi" brand products are fully insured by the People's Insurance Company of China (PICC).
Silicone is extremely flexible and heat-resistant. It allows for a small bending radius, making it easier to wire in cramped motor junction boxes. Furthermore, Silicone rubber has excellent dielectric properties, maintaining high insulation resistance even when the motor is running at peak temperatures.
While Silicone is thermally excellent, it is soft. A fiberglass braid provides high mechanical strength, protecting the wire from abrasion, cut-through, and tearing during the motor assembly process and against the sharp edges of the stator.
This depends on the motor's operating voltage and peak surge levels. Standard industrial motors usually require 600V leads, but for large-scale power generators or motors driven by variable frequency drives (VFDs) where voltage spikes are common, a 3KV or 6KV rated lead is recommended for extra safety.
