FPV Drone Motors: Performance Comparison Between Stranded Wire and Solid Wire

Performance Comparison: Stranded Wire vs. Solid Wire Brushless Motors for FPV Drones
Stranded wire motors are slightly higher in cost but offer significant performance advantages, while solid wire motors are more affordable but come with noticeable efficiency limitations.

Customer Test Data Feedback:

  • Stranded Wire Motors: Require only 20%–30% starting current, operate with higher efficiency, and provide longer flight endurance.
  • Solid Wire Motors: Need 110% starting current and consume more current during flight, resulting in noticeably shorter flight times.

Technical Explanation:
The stranded wire design achieves a higher slot fill rate, delivering better conductivity and heat dissipation. In contrast, solid wire, despite its thicker gauge, has a lower slot fill rate, which limits overall efficiency.

Selection Recommendation:
For superior power and extended flight time, stranded wire motors are recommended as the preferred choice for 10-inch, 13-inch, and 15-inch FPV drones, especially in high-performance flying scenarios.
