It is generally known that copper cables are a good electrical conductor. This means that the opposite copper cable is of moderate length. The resistance of aluminum cables is almost twice that of copper cables with similar measurements. As a result, the vitality of aluminum cables will be higher than copper cables. Copper wires are more dynamic.

Cable

Cables produced using aluminium and copper. Aluminum cables have almost twice the area, making them indistinguishable from copper cables. You can see the conductor's strands and covering.

To make the aluminum link indistinguishable from the copper cable, we need to make it fatter. The larger cross-sectional area reduces its obstruction and reduces the misfortune of life force to the equivalent of a smaller copper cable.


The two cables have relative current carrying limitations. They each have the ability to deliver up to 500 A with conductor temperatures not exceeding 90°C; they should convey this gift when requests are high but should not be used for larger currents.

Copper cables (on the right) are thinner than aluminum cables because copper is an excellent transmitter. Its cross-sectional area is 300 square meters instead of 500 square meters for aluminum.

Inside the cable are four sets of wires, and these wires are protected with cross-connected high-thickness polyethylene (XLPE). The entire cable is reinforced with steel wire.


What are the advantages of copper?

Copper cables have some preferences over aluminum cables. Since it is more slender, it can fit into a smaller duct space. It tends to bend in tighter corners. In addition, copper can be joined without any difficulty.


Copper is three times thicker than aluminum. Aluminum cables are a significant portion of the weight of copper cables of similar grades, so aluminum cables (reinforced with steel) are often favored hanging between overhead arches. To fully examine vitality productivity, we should also consider the vitality used to mine, refine, and transport these materials.
