What makes Stranded Copper Wires Popular

Introduction

• The use of cable and wires is different in
  different parts of the world. The electrical
  services must match the requirements of the
  alternating and direct current. The alternating
  form fluctuates between 120 volts and 240 volts.
  The Stranded Copper Wires are used in the
  alternating system.
• The chances of short circuit and fire hazards are
  drastically reduced at places where copper wires
  are used as main wiring and ground wiring.

Review of Key Objectives

Use of stranded copper wires

• Developed nations use stranded copper wires in
  huge volume. As per the standard regulations and
  safety protocols, the commercial, industrial and
  domestic wiring circuits must be laced with the
  braided and stranded copper wires. These wires
  are compatible with the electrical units that
  require 120-240 volts alternating current. These
  wires have a superior quality and smaller
  diameter than the ones used to carry direct
  current.
• Smart electrical units built with these stranded
  wires take less space and gel well with the
  overall ambience as well.

Consuming the Bulk of Copper Wires?

• USA consumes almost 60 percent of the copper
  extracted from the earth. It is also the largest
  manufacturer and consumer of the electrical
  copper wires. It is used to meet the requirements
  from the industries, marine engineering, space
  shuttle programs, telecommunications and domestic
  wiring demands.
• It also catered to fulfil the power management
  services in developing and the Third World
  countries of Africa and Middle West.

Trend of consumption of stranded copper wires

• Copper wires are consumed with a growth rate of
  close to 4.0 percent every year. While the
  tonnage has fallen owing to the use of smaller
  and thinner wires, the stranded copper wires have
  ensured a drastic rise in the life expectancy of
  the circuits.
• Almost seventy five percent of the present
  circuits having stranded and bare copper wires
  come with an average life of 5 years. The extra
  insulation layer prolongs the life further.

Role of insulation in electrical wires

• The insulation prevents the corrosion, splitting
  and sagging of the wires. It also ensures that
  there is minimum wastage of material in making
  composite stranded wires. The bare copper wires
  with bigger diameter are used in feeder cables.
  They are wound across sub-panels and multi-storey
  circuit layouts.
