Round Litz
Litz constructions Types 1 through 6 are all designed to be round and vary from a simple bunch of conductors
(Type 1) to complex designs utilizing multiple cores and several manufacturing operations (Type 6).
The smaller constructions of Litz Types 1 and 2 are typically used in High Q circuitry, such as toroidal coils and
transformers. The larger Type 2 and 3 Litz designs have greater current carrying capacities necessary for high
frequency power supply, inverter and grounding applications. Type 4, 5 and 6 Litz constructions all utilize at least
one inert core and are used primarily in tuning circuitry for high power radio transmitters.
