Copper wires are also called Universal wires. They have virtually seeped into every electrical and mechanical gadget that runs on electricity. Be it a battery powered gadget or running on renewable resources, the loss of electricity is least in these wires. The wires that rank higher than the stranded copper wires are calledthesuper-conductors.
Alloying properties make copper the most compatible metal to be used as wires. It can be clubbed with almost every other metal. The alloying properties are used to develop new families of electrical wires, thin films, sheets, foils and even fibres.
The stranded copper wires are best in conditions plagued with moisture and abrasive compounds. They are resistant against dampness and rust.
Stranded copper wires are safe from the contagious bacterial growth and pests. These wires remain shielded from the notorious micro-organisms like bugs and Legionella, E coli, burger etcetera.
Sometimes the high-tension overhead power transmission lines snap because of weather conditions or collision with vehicles. During these circumstances, the copper wires can be soldered to other metals and effectiveness is restored.
