WHY IS BARE COPPER WIRE A PREFERRED CHOICE?


Copper is still the most preferred electrical conductor despite the competition from other alloys and Copper Wire is used in power generation, transmission, distribution and countless electrical equipment. Copper wiring is the most reliable and durable, due to certain unique properties such as its high conductivity, tensile strength, ductility, creep and corrosion resistance and ease of installation. The softness of copper contributes to its high electrical and thermal conductivity which is second only to silver. The reason why copper wire is still not considered outdated or less important is its being the most common conductive metal according to the international standards.


Bare Copper Wires are single strand copper conductors surrounded by an insulator. Stranded wire has a group of copper wires braided or twisted together. They may be classified as solid and Stranded Copper Wires. Bare copper wires possess high shelf life. They are used in overhead transmissions and power distribution systems where they possess the quality of rigidity in order to avoid sagging of these wires. Another classification offers high flexibility in these wires where they are used in non-insulated hooks, electrical grounding circuits, etc. These insulated copper wires prevent moisture and oxygen from affecting it. Every electrical appliance uses these bare wires as their unmatched properties make them the first choice.


If we compare bare copper wire to bare aluminium wire, copper proves not only to be more popular but also possesses higher tensile strength and higher conductivity than aluminium. It can be said to be more stable as it doesn’t loosen down easily. Copper wire can also bear more load fluctuations than aluminium. Copper is more effective conductor for electricity, though aluminium is lighter and cheaper. Copper is easier to install and more reliable than aluminium wire. Its availability in smaller strands makes it easier to use where more flexibility in wire is required.


For home wiring, copper wires are more recommended as they can reach in narrow and hard to reach places. They are more long-lasting and do not require frequent repairs. Besides, they are the preferred choice, especially for the appliances that emit a lot of heat as they will not catch fire. Copper wiring is recommended for homes as they show more compatibility with electrical appliances. To avoid galvanic reaction that can be fatal, bare copper wire is the first choice with the electrical experts. Last but not the least, even in the weather changes, they are more durable and safer.
