Research on mechanical and electrical properties of enamel winding wires connections made with the use of SHARK-Al® technology

Abstract

The results of the research that have been presented in this article include the analysis of basic exploitational properties of connections made with the use of new family of Shark-Al connectors, which are the first in the industry strictly dedicated for connecting the enamelled aluminium wires. In particular, the test results include the analysis of the contact resistance and tensile strength of connections prepared with the various types of connectors and various configurations of used enamelled wires. Results of this work enabled to verify the correctness of performed connecting process and also allowed to verify the connectors design.
