Ten Advantages of Copper Core Cables


The inner part of a copper core cable is a steel core, with aluminum wires wound around the steel core using a twisting method. This mainly serves to increase strength and transmit electrical energy. As we all know, copper core cables are one of the common types of cables. Do you really know all the advantages of copper core cables? Below, we have compiled ten advantages of copper core cables for your reference. Welcome to add more!

  The inside of a copper core cable is a steel core, and the outside is aluminum wire wound around the steel core in a braided manner, mainly to increase strength and transmit electricity. Copper core cables are one of the common types of cables. Do you really know all the advantages of copper core cables? Below is a summary of ten advantages of copper core cables for your reference. Additions are welcome!

  1. Low Resistivity: The resistivity of aluminum core cables is about 1.68 times higher than that of copper core cables.

  2. Good Ductility: The ductility of copper alloy is 20~40%, the ductility of electrical copper is over 30%, and the ductility of aluminum alloy is only 18%.

  3. High Strength: The allowable stress at room temperature is 7~28% higher than that of aluminum. Especially the stress at high temperatures, the difference between them is enormous.

  4. Fatigue Resistance: Aluminum is prone to cracking when repeatedly bent, while copper is not. In terms of elasticity, copper is also about 1.7~1.8 times higher than aluminum.

  5. Good Stability and Corrosion Resistance: Copper cores are oxidation-resistant and corrosion-resistant, while aluminum cores are prone to oxidation and corrosion.

  6. Large Current Carrying Capacity: Due to its low resistivity, the current carrying capacity (the amount of current that can pass through) of a copper core cable with the same cross-sectional area is about 30% higher than that of an aluminum core cable.

  7. Low Voltage Loss: Due to the lower resistivity of copper core cables, under the same current and the same section. Copper core cables have a small voltage drop. The same transmission distance can guarantee higher voltage quality; under the promised voltage drop condition, copper cable transmission can reach a long distance, that is, a large power supply coverage area, which is conducive to network planning and reduces the number of power supply points.

  8. Low Heating Temperature: Under the same current, the heat generation of a copper core cable with the same cross-sectional area is much smaller than that of an aluminum core cable, making it safer to operate.

  9. Low Energy Consumption: Due to the low resistivity of copper, compared with aluminum cables, the power consumption of copper cables is low, which is obvious. This helps to improve power generation efficiency and protect the environment.

  10. Oxidation Resistance and Corrosion Resistance: The connectors of copper core cables are functionally stable and will not cause any trouble due to oxidation. The unstable joints of aluminum core cables often cause failures due to oxidation, and oxidation increases contact resistance and generates heat. Therefore, the failure rate is much higher than that of copper core cables.

  Compared with aluminum wire, copper core cables are more flexible! At the same time, copper core cables have low resistivity, good ductility, and the allowable stress at room temperature is 7~28% higher than that of aluminum. Especially the stress at high temperatures, the difference is even greater, copper core cables are oxidation-resistant and corrosion-resistant, while aluminum wires are prone to oxidation and corrosion. Due to the lower resistivity of copper core cables, when the same current flows through the same cross-section, the voltage drop is smaller. Therefore, the same transmission distance can guarantee higher voltage quality.

  Under the allowable voltage conditions, copper core cable transmission can reach a long distance, that is, a large power supply coverage area, which is conducive to network planning and reduces the number of power supply points. The powerful and excellent performance of copper can give users a better product experience.
