Worldwide Distributor of Electric Motor Repair & Cathodic Protection Materials Since 1986
Lead wires are the flexible, high-temperature conductors that carry current from a motor’s terminal connection into its windings. They sit in one of the hottest, most electrically demanding spots in the machine, so they are built differently from ordinary hookup wire: rated for high temperatures, insulated to resist heat, moisture, and chemicals, and flexible enough to route and connect without cracking. When a motor is rewound, the lead wires are replaced with the windings, which makes the right lead wire a staple of every motor repair shop.
Advance Electrical has supplied lead wire to motor repair shops since 1986. Family-owned for over 40 years, we stock high-temperature lead wire in the insulation types motor repair calls for, spooled to the length you need, with same-day shipping on stocked items. Browse the products below, or request a quote and our team will help you match the right conductor size and rating to the motor on your bench.
Different motors and operating environments call for different lead wire insulation. Advance Electrical stocks the types most used in motor repair and rewind work, spooled to your required length:

Lead wire connects the windings of virtually every rewound and repaired electric motor, which puts it into equipment across nearly every industry that depends on electric motors:
In each case, when a motor is rewound, new lead wire is installed with the new windings, matched to the motor’s temperature class and electrical requirements.
Selecting motor lead wire comes down to a few key factors: the temperature rating and insulation class the motor requires, the voltage it operates at, the conductor size needed to carry the current, and the environment the motor runs in, including exposure to moisture, chemicals, or abrasion. Silicone glass braided lead wire and EPDM lead wire each suit different combinations of these demands. Matching the wire correctly is where a distributor with motor repair experience adds real value, and it is the help Advance Electrical has provided since 1986.
Motor repair shops need lead wire that matches the job and arrives when they need it. Here is what you get with Advance Electrical:
Advance Electrical supplies silicone glass braided lead wire, EPDM lead wire, and other high-temperature lead wire to motor repair shops worldwide, spooled to length. Tell us the insulation type, temperature rating, and wire size you need, or describe the motor you are rewinding, and we will help you match it. Call (936) 588-4419 or request a quote, and our team will follow up with pricing and availability.
Motor lead wire is the flexible, high-temperature insulated conductor that connects an electric motor’s windings to its terminal or connection point. Because it operates inside the motor where temperatures run high, it is rated and insulated for far more heat than ordinary hookup wire, and it is replaced along with the windings whenever a motor is rewound.
Advance Electrical stocks high-temperature motor lead wire in the insulation types motor repair calls for, spooled to your required length, and our selection grows over time. Current products include:
If you need a lead wire that is not listed, contact us. We regularly source and spool wire beyond our current catalog to meet customer specifications.
The interior of an electric motor reaches temperatures that would break down ordinary wire insulation over time. Lead wire must survive that sustained heat for the life of the motor while remaining flexible enough to install and resistant to the moisture and chemicals present in many operating environments. Standard hookup wire is not rated for these conditions, which is why purpose-built lead wire is used.
The right lead wire matches the motor on a few points: the temperature rating and insulation class the motor requires, the voltage it operates at, and the conductor size needed to carry the current, along with the operating environment. The fastest way to get it right is to share the motor details or the specification you need, and our team will help you match the correct wire and size.
Yes. Lead wire is replaced as a standard part of a motor rewind, installed with the new windings. Reusing old lead wire that has been through the same heat and age as the failed windings risks an early failure, so new lead wire matched to the motor’s rating is part of a proper rewind.
Yes. Advance Electrical re-spools wire and cable down to custom-size reels, so you can order the length your job requires rather than a fixed put-up. Tell us the product and the length you need when you request a quote.
Yes. As a distributor serving the motor repair industry since 1986, Advance Electrical helps shops match the correct lead wire type, temperature rating, and size to the motor being repaired. Share the motor details or the specification you need, and our team will confirm the right product before you order.
