Analysis of Material Selection and Advantages/Disadvantages of Household Electrical Wires and Cables
2024-05-20

The common conductor materials for household electrical wires are copper and aluminum, each with its own characteristics. Copper wire has excellent conductivity and strong oxidation resistance, making it suitable for high-load demand circuits, but the price is relatively high. Aluminum wire is lightweight and lower in cost, but its conductivity is slightly inferior to that of copper wire and is more susceptible to oxidation. When purchasing, one should choose the appropriate material based on budget and actual needs. In addition, the material of the insulation layer is also an important factor affecting the quality of the wire; a high-quality insulation layer can provide higher safety and durability.
