(Electric Vehicle)- Litz Wire

Today Elektrisola supplies automotive litz wires to many car manufacturers. With a proven history in the automotive sector, Elektrisola has developed litz wire products to serve in this field.

  • Transformers for on board chargers
  • DC-DC-converters and inverters
  • Wireless chargers 
  • IGBTs for motors

 

Chargers:      110/220/380V AC to battery, 500-600V DC 

  • High number of single wires (up to 1600 strands, of fine enamelled wires)                                                                           
  • Extruded or film insulated
  • EFOLIT Product family

 

 

 

 

DC-DC-Converter:    High voltage battery → 12 V

  • Litz 120 - 208 x 0.10 mm, round and profiled
  • Film insulated (EFOLIT) or extruded HF-Litz wire
  • Space/weight important, therefore compact design necessary

   

Drive Inverter:     Battery → Drive Motor  

 

Interior Heating Systems

 

      

Heating Systems

  • Solid bare wire conductors (first generation)
  • Carbon fiber elements (premium/luxury cars)
  • Flexible litz wires (most common solution)

 

Typical Litz Wire for Interior Heating System

  • Main material fine insulated wire made of alloys such as CuNi and others
  • Low to medium high number of strands (12 to 50)
  • Enamel - Polyurethane up to 180°C
  • Outer insulation and mechanical protection by Polyamide extrusion coating 

  

 

Requirements and critical production criteria 

  • Advanced resistance performance
  • High flexibility and mechanical strength
  • High temperature and liquid resistance
  • No pinholes / low loop behavior

 

 

 

 

Wireless Charging inside Cars (Comfort items)

Charging of cell phones, players etc.

Standards for Qi, A4WP, and PMA still contain different frequencies. Today low power wireless charging with 5 W is standard technology and higher power output chargers with 10 - 100 W will introduced in the future.

 

 

 

Typical Transmitters:

Transmitters are defined acc. to Qi-standard from Wireless Consortium. Today types A1 to A9 (actual product designs) are specified. Other designs are available from A4WP with different frequencies.

 

Wire used:                     Mostly litz wire 105 or 115;x 0.08 mm
