Aluminium Wire Manufacturers have Reaped The Benefits Of Popularity of Aluminium

Aluminium wiring is an acceptable wiring choice if properly installed and used in correct application. Aluminium is considered to be a good conductor of electricity. It is light weight strong and much cheaper that other metals used for same purpose. The power supply lines providing power to majority of the premises whether residential or commercial are manufactured by aluminium; as it has captured almost the entire BC Hydro power grid. Presently when it comes for distribution of electricity to the residential premises, stranded aluminium cables are used for main distribution wiring or feeder lines are been used. Aluminium wire itself is considered to be reliable when used in the right application and if is carefully and correctly installed and maintained.

As some alloys of aluminium are equally safe as copper, these days they are directly replacing copper for electric wiring. Considering reliability, safety and cost effective feature of aluminium alloy, these days Aluminium Wire Manufacturers have smartly cashed the opportunity and are into manufacturing of aluminium wire. Copper Clad Aluminium also known as CCA is composite wire which compromises of aluminium core clad with ETP copper. Although this material consists of 90% aluminium it has electric properties that are equivalent to copper. Majority of the aluminium Wire Suppliers produce broad line, round, flat, square and also rectangular aluminium wire that are copper clad. This type of electrical wiring is extensively used in many applications and has some advantages of being light weight when compared to aluminium.

The primary reason for using aluminium power cables and wiring is significantly reduced cost. Rates of Copper and other metals used for electric wiring spiked few decades back , and have been rising ever since , making wiring with the help of these metals quite expensive . Aluminium is much cheaper and offers similar performance. Although when used in its pure form there is a reduction in performance in a few areas, alloys have been developed to remedy this issue.

Apart from the reason mentioned above Copper wiring can be three times heavier than identical aluminium wiring. Aluminum’s reduced weight means less strain on supporting equipment for suspended cables, lower transportation costs and hassles and more efficient handling during installation. As Aluminium is also more flexible than copper and more suitable for use in cables exposed to frequent bending and twisting hence is more favored than the copper. Aluminum’s tendency to break is much lower, increasing the cable's reliability and reducing the chance of power disruptions due to cable damage by bending.

Corona discharge or corona effect is the formation of ions around a conductor which results in electrical discharge of the current flowing through it at high voltage, leading to power wastage. Copper cables are prone to a higher level of corona discharge. Hence aluminium is considered to be cost effective while developing wires. The best part is Aluminum wiring is being used in various appliances primarily because of its ability to resist corrosion. This leads to greater demand in the market.

When as an owner of the premises who want to have an electric fitting in the premises or a retailer want to have stored the wiring goods opt for Aluminum wires that are manufactured by Banco Aluminium.Quality is assured!!!
