Currently I'm making afew smps ferrite transformers. I normally buy my copper wire for the UK as I live there. it's abit more pricey, But only by a couple of quid mind. As it's quick to turn up and also great quality.
Now iv been using 200c klapton tape and class H enameled wire 150c as i assume it's cheaper for the company to coat all the wires in the same material.so it's all h class.
I watched a couple of YouTube videos , some mentioned triple insulated wire and how good it was. Obviously it sounds great. Triple Very cheap from China . But then I looked at the specs class B. 80c. Am i looking at the wrong stuff or do you think I should just stick with the enameled wire and tape.
