Copper strip for transformer winding is an important conductor material used in transformer coil manufacturing. Compared with aluminum strip, copper strip provides higher electrical conductivity, better current-carrying capacity and excellent mechanical strength, making it suitable for transformers requiring stable electrical performance and high reliability.
Our copper strip for transformer winding is supplied with accurate thickness, precise width tolerance, clean surface and controlled edge quality. Soft annealed copper strip is commonly used for winding applications because it provides good flexibility and reduces the risk of cracking during bending and coil forming.
We can supply customized copper strip according to customer requirements, including material grade, thickness, width, temper, coil inner diameter, edge condition and packaging method.
