  1. Electrical Applications of Stranded Copper Wire

  2. Stranded wire is composed through combining many wires to form a large-size conductor. Copper, being the electrical conductor, is used in different electrical applications; therefore, the stranded copper wire is used widely in power transmission and distribution, telecommunications, electronics circuitry, and power generation.

  3. Stranded Copper Wire Stranded copper wire is covered with the tin coating, thus exude strength. It is coated through hot dipping or electroplating. Each strand of copper is dipped during the hot dipping process, whereas the electrical charge is used to coat the copper with tin during electroplating. It makes the stranded wire leave no gaps in between the strands, which in return conforms less chance of damage. In terms of costing, stranded wires stand economical against its variants, considering the load it bears alongside high durability for any given project. Stranded copper wires are manufactured with minute details to make it resistant to damages, including shock, voltage, etc. It carries more current as compared to solid wires due to its low resistance. Due to the surface area, it makes space for the current to flow uninterrupted.

  4. Applications of Stranded Copper Wire Stranded wires are delicate and better suited to be used in circuit boards and electronic devices, such as speaker wires. It is due to its element of flexibility that lets the circuit board generate less stress. Also, this type of wire can bend and twist to connect electronic components. The bundled stranded wires display more flexibility than solid wires; therefore, it is used in cases where higher resistance is required.

  5. The other areas where the stranded copper wire is used are air conditioning line cords, mouse cables, control cables, welding cables, musical instruments, and mining machines. In ACs, the current flows near to the surface of a wire, which causes the proximity effect. In order to safeguard the current flow, the copper uses the entire cross section for a large amount of current to flow, thus making it resistant to extreme fluctuations. The braids of stranded wire are malleable and flexible. Moreover, it is widely used in building electro-mechanical assemblies.

  6. Stranded wires are the first choice of many industries as it bears an advantage of bending, reshaping, and snaking, especially in mobile applications, such as robotics or electronic circuit boards. The stranded wire is used in a robot’s arm because the wires can move around without any hassle. Whereas, the solid wires are used in applications where no such movement is required, such as breadboard.

  7. Stranded copper wire contain less surface area that is exposed to corrosive elements. Thus, it is preferred more in applications that require tight bends. Now let us talk about its use in the residential structures. The stranded copper wire is used as the residential wire because it can be pulled out by conduit easily. It means that the wire can be bent in large sizes easily as compared to the solid wire, making it usable in building residential structures. If you’re looking for a trusted stranded copper wire exporter or have a general requirement of copper wires, you can connect with the experts at Ganpati Wires to procure the material at wholesale prices.
