Bare or Shaped Conductors
We manufacture shaped bare conductors in Copper, Aluminum wire and CCA. Shaped
Conductors are used in various for electrical applications.
Aluminum Wire
Conductivity
Aluminum wire has lower electrical conductivity compared to copper, meaning it can experience higher resistive losses in electrical transmission.
Cost-Effectiveness
Aluminum wire is generally more cost-effective than copper wire, making it a popular choice for applications where cost savings are a priority.
Applications
Aluminum wire is commonly used in overhead power lines, electrical distribution systems, and some electrical appliances.
Copper Wire
Conductivity
Copper wire is renowned for its high electrical conductivity, making it an excellent choice for applications where efficient transmission of electricity is crucial.
Durability
Copper wire is highly durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring reliable performance over time.
Cost
While copper wire offers superior conductivity and durability, it is generally more expensive than alternatives like aluminum and CCA wire.
Applications
Copper wire is commonly used in various electrical applications, including power distribution, wiring in buildings, electronics, and electrical motors.
CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum) Wire
Overall, the choice between copper, aluminum, and CCA wire depends on factors such as conductivity requirements, cost considerations, weight constraints, and specific application needs. Each type of wire has its own advantages and limitations, and the selection should be based on a careful assessment of these factors.
Composition
CCA wire is made by bonding a thin layer of copper to an aluminum core, combining the conductivity of copper with the lightweight and cost-effectiveness of aluminum.
Conductivity
While CCA wire offers a balance between conductivity and cost, it typically has lower conductivity than pure copper wire.
Cost
CCA wire is often more affordable than pure copper wire while still offering better conductivity than pure aluminum wire.
Applications
CCA wire is commonly used in applications where a balance between cost and performance is desired, such as in telecommunications, automotive wiring, and some low-voltage electrical applications.
