Which is Better? Solid Copper Wire or Stranded Wire?

There are two types of wires that are generally used in the conduction of electricity. The conduction capacity is also identical between the two as they are made from Copper. But, there is always a comparison, which one is the best to use. So let’s talk about which one you should prefer for home.

  1. Which is Better? Solid Copper Wire or Stranded Wire?

  2. There are two types of wires that are generally used in the conduction of electricity. The conduction capacity is also identical between the two as they are made from Copper. But, there is always a comparison, which one is the best to use. So let’s talk about which one you should prefer for home.

  3. Stranded Copper Wire Stranded wire is generally a bundle of numerous solid wires bound together. Many thin wires are twisted together. It provides great flexibility to the wire and makes it suitable for use where the wire needs to be bent or moved around. It also makes them durable for use and provides long term stability. The perfect example of usage of stranded wire can be a robot arm which has frequent movement with high flexibility required. You can also see the use of Stranded Copper Wires in automobiles. The gauge of the wire should be selected by the technician to determine where the wire has to be used. Stranded cables should be used for short distances as the attenuation in these cables is high.

  4. Solid Copper Wire Solid wire is just a single wire which is not as flexible as stranded wire. It can be used for horizontal and vertical movement. It should not be flexed, twisted or bent as it can easily get damaged. Solid wires are useful in backbone cabling & outdoor applications where there is no requirement for bending or twisting the wires. They are much more durable and can be easily procured. They are also equally durable as stranded wires but they should be put to proper use as per their capacity. An electrician can easily suggest you which wire you need for your home as per the requirement.

  5. Final Verdict Both wires are equally usable as per suitable conditions. Where flexibility is important or desirable, you should use stranded wire. Solid wires are suitable for backbone connections. Where corrosion can be a problem, Stranded Copper Flexible wires should be used. But stranded wires are not suitable for outdoor applications and solid type wires work there. Solid wires also have a cost advantage over stranded type wires.

  6. You can find a variety of copper wires on Ganpati Wires. Years of business has made them a reputable source to buy electrical wiring components in India.
