Aluminum Cables
Aluminum cables are electrical conductors made primarily from aluminum, a lightweight and corrosion-resistant metal. They are commonly used in power distribution and transmission systems due to their excellent conductivity and lower cost compared to copper cables. Aluminum cables are often found in overhead power lines and residential wiring.
These cables are typically larger in diameter than copper cables to achieve similar conductivity levels. To enhance their performance, aluminum cables may be coated with materials like tin or zinc. Proper installation and maintenance are essential to ensure safety and efficiency in electrical systems using aluminum cables.
