Reasons why bare copper wires are utilized as electrical and mechanical wires

Power Cables are far more interesting than you ever imagined! Most of us have just seen these cables as a basic requirement that we don't even care about since their beginnings in 1882. But there are a lot more things to add to these strings of wonder than meets the eye! Thomas Edison produced the first 'wire' in 1882 which wasn't even a wire; instead, it was a collection of copper tubes wrapped in jute! The wire was filled with asphalt, which provided insulation, due to its porous properties because rubber insulation was not employed until 1897, and only in the power plants like Niagara Falls

  1. REASONS WHY BARE COPPER WIRES ARE UTILIZED AS ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL WIRES cabconindia.com

  2. Copper is found in almost every aspect of life. The most common types of engineering wires that are used to repair and replace broken electric lines are bare copper wire cables. The following are the top five reasons why bare copper wires are utilized as electrical and mechanical wires: Electrical conductivity is high: The best electrical qualities that noble metals have in nature are retained by bare copper cables. Aside from having better electrical conductivity, bare copper wires also improve transmission by having low resistance. The bare copper wire's electrical conductivity allows it to be employed in circuits and overhead power transmission lines. Automobiles, heavy machinery, industrial Transformers, and submarines all use them. Ductility: The incredible ductility of bare copper wires makes them ideal for use in smaller machines with limited space and functionality. Copper bare wires can be pulled into thin wires with small diameters thanks to their ductility. This engineering property, which is endowed with physical characteristics, ensures that the strain in diameter does not affect the electrical qualities.

  3. Optional alloys: Copper can be alloyed and coated with other metals as well as left bare. The most common metals alloyed with bare copper wires to improve electrical qualities and provide a noncorrosive environment are nickel, zinc, and tin. The electroplating alloys keep the bare copper wires chemically protected from the elements and abrasive substances. For added protection against wear and tear, the bare copper wires can be insulated with an appropriate exterior coating. Resistant to Heat: Thermal resistance is a feature of copper electrical lines that is often disregarded. According to ESFI, electrical fires cause more than 51,000 residential dwelling fires in the United States each year, not including commercial/business fires. Copper electrical cables are heat resistant and they are safe to handle than wires made of most other conductive metals.

  4. Inexpensive: When compared to other metals, copper is also quite affordable. Gold, for instance, is an excellent conductor of electricity but costs many times as much as copper. Companies will waste money if they use gold to make electrical cables because copper is more conductive and less expensive than gold. For this reason alone, copper should be the de-facto standard for electrical cables. These are some properties of copper that make it so great for use as cable wires in our daily lives as well as the industry.
