Trend of Application: Copper Wire & Cable Products

Image
Industrial development is backed by metallurgical advancement of the copper wires. Wire and cable products are being used in the developed countries as well as newly industrialized regions of the world. In western countries alone, more than 80 percent of all copper and its alloys are used for the purpose of electrical connectivity. Copper wires and the cables made of different types of windings like stranded copper wire and bunched copper wire that have distinct physical and electrical properties. The most basic type of copper cable is the bare copper wire . It is used in the production of wire rods with thin dimensions. It can be recycled easily from the base scrap materials.  What are the primary types of copper wire used in the industry?  Depending on the application and niche of the industrial set-up, the wire and cable mad of copper can be branded in the following categories.  - Building copper wire   - Magnet wire  - Telecommunicatio...

Wires and their terminology explained

If you have your house constructed, you must have come across the electric wiring personnel spell out some words such as ‘Wire Gauge’, Ampere, Watts etc. that may have also bewildered you. At that time, you may have nodded your head giving an impression that you understand those power related jargons. However, do you actually know what these are and what these mean in practical life? Wire gauges This is actually a term for the grades of wires and capacity of wires. A Gauge of a wire, in layman’s language is the thickness of the wire or the size of the wire. There are various Gauge of wires available which support different power loads. For example a 6 gauge wire can withstand a load of up to 50 Ampere which means that this wire is appropriate for heavy power usage equipment such as air conditioner, geyser etc. Similarly, a lower gauge wire would support lower load equipment. Thus it is important that proper gauge of cables should be put to proper load. If a lower gauge wiring is su...
