What makes Stranded Copper Wires Popular
Introduction ď‚— The use of cable and wires is different in different
parts of the world. The electrical services must match the requirements of the alternating and direct current. The alternating form fluctuates between 120 volts and 240 volts. The Stranded Copper Wires are used in the alternating system.
ď‚— The chances of short circuit and fire hazards are
drastically reduced at places where copper wires are used as main wiring and ground wiring.
Review of Key Objectives Use of stranded copper wires is a sign of prosperity Who is consuming the bulk of copper wires? What is the trend of consumption of stranded copper wires? Role of insulation in electrical wires
Use of stranded copper wires ď‚— Developed nations use stranded copper wires in huge
volume. As per the standard regulations and safety protocols, the commercial, industrial and domestic wiring circuits must be laced with the braided and stranded copper wires. These wires are compatible with the electrical units that require 120-240 volts alternating current. These wires have a superior quality and smaller diameter than the ones used to carry direct current.
ď‚— Smart electrical units built with these stranded wires take
less space and gel well with the overall ambience as well.
Consuming the Bulk of Copper Wires? ď‚— USA consumes almost 60 percent of the copper
extracted from the earth. It is also the largest manufacturer and consumer of the electrical copper wires. It is used to meet the requirements from the industries, marine engineering, space shuttle programs, telecommunications and domestic wiring demands.
ď‚— It also catered to fulfil the power management services
in developing and the Third World countries of Africa and Middle West.
Trend of consumption of stranded copper wires ď‚— Copper wires are consumed with a growth rate of close
to 4.0 percent every year. While the tonnage has fallen owing to the use of smaller and thinner wires, the stranded copper wires have ensured a drastic rise in the life expectancy of the circuits.
ď‚— Almost seventy five percent of the present circuits
having stranded and bare copper wires come with an average life of 5 years. The extra insulation layer prolongs the life further.
Stranded Copper Wires
Role of insulation in electrical wires The insulation prevents the corrosion, splitting and sagging of the wires. It also ensures that there is minimum wastage of material in making composite stranded wires. The bare copper wires with bigger diameter are used in feeder cables. They are wound across sub-panels and multi-storey circuit layouts.
