Why Is Bare Copper Wire A Preferred Choice?

WHY IS BARE COPPER WIRE A PREFERRED CHOICE?
2
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considered outdated or less important is its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 doesnt 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.
