Copper wire is a metal wire made from pure copper or copper alloy, formed into long strands. It is available in both bare and insulated forms. Its key features include excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, strength, ease of bending, and corrosion resistance, making it widely used in electrical and industrial applications.
Main Properties
- Good electrical conductivity (low energy loss)
- Durable, easily bent, not easily brittle
- Resistant to rust and corrosion
- Long lifespan
Common Applications
- Wiring in homes, buildings, and factories
- Motor/transformer windings
- Electronics and circuit boards
- Grounding systems (earth wires)
- General repairs and DIY projects
Types of Copper Wire (in summary)
- Bare copper wire – Used for grounding or specialized industrial applications
- Insulated copper wire – Used as general wiring
- Stranded wire / Single strand – Choose according to flexibility and required current
