What are the types of copper wires in power cords?

The power cord is composed of an outer sheath, an inner sheath and a metal wire. The metal wire as the core accessory plays an extremely important role. It can also be said that there is no wire, the current will not flow, so that the entire power line is in a state of display. There is no doubt about the importance of metal wire, and copper wire is the most common variety of power cord conductors, so which copper wires can be widely used in power cords?

Semi-hard copper wire is one of them. The characteristics of semi-hard copper wire are the combination of the characteristics of hard copper wire and soft copper wire. Hard copper wire has high tensile strength, while soft copper wire has good flexibility and bendability. The semi-hard copper wire that combines the properties of the two copper wires not only has good tensile strength, but also has a certain degree of flexibility and flexibility, and is widely used in the binding of overhead wires and radio wiring.

The cross section of the rectangular copper wire is different from that of the general copper wire. The cross-section of common copper wires is round, but the cross-section of flat-angle copper wires is square or rectangular. Therefore, it becomes a good raw material for the manufacture of induction coils such as large transformers or large motors.

Copper clad steel is also made into conductors. Generally, copper clad steel is suitable for coaxial cable for signal transmission, such as the connection between TV and VCD, outdoor TV antenna, etc. Due to the environmental requirements of the installation, the tensile strength of the general copper-clad steel wire is relatively high, and it can be overhead in areas such as mountains.

Alloy copper is composed of copper and other metal materials, and is generally used in special industries. Some industries have very high requirements for conductors, and the properties of copper alone are in line with its application, so a certain amount of other metal elements will be mixed in the production to make it suitable for use in special fields.

The above copper wires are important raw materials for conductors. Manufacturers can choose different copper wires as raw materials according to different needs, so that the power cords produced meet the needs of consumers.
