Benefits of Electrical Copper Wires
There are several advantages to having electrical copper wires than iron wires, mainly because copper has high electrical conductivity. Electricity passes through it without heating it much, and hence copper is used for cable industries for the production of different types of wires. Tinsel wire, submersible winding wire, copper strip, special cable and control cable are some of the popular kinds of wires from copper.
Electrical wiring for residential as well as commercial purposes is made from copper as well as iron. But electrical contractors prefer copper to all other metals because it is extremely flexible and is highly resistant against metal exhaustion. Copper is an extremely durable metal and malleable too. That is why copper wires can withstand rough weather conditions.
The manufacture of copper strips is widespread as they are used in automatic machines, not only to run them efficiently but also to save energy and prevent corrosion. Several manufactures make customized copper strips for companies and various industries use bare copper strips as raw materials for places where salt content is high in the soil.
Electrical appliances, storage batteries and electric stoves use braided copper wire as flexible connectors. The connector is a high-quality copper wire made of tinned flexible copper wire and made into a multiple-thread braid.
In India the demand for copper wire is quite high, and hence it is available in various forms and sizes. Now copper wires are used extensively all over the world both for residential and commercial purposes. With the result there has been a significant increase of copper wire suppliers everywhere too. Electrical power cable comes now in various forms and is mainly made from copper, and sometimes iron. PVC coated wire and braided copper wires are used for electrical wires of low voltage, which are made by wrapping several copper foil strands or applying plastic coating on the textile core.
