CCA (COPPER CLAD ALUMINUM) WIRE
Copper Clad Aluminum Wire (CCA) is a bimetallic wire that is a composite of an Aluminum core cladding with copper which is produced under the production process of cladding, welding, and drawing method. By cladding the copper strip concentrically on the outer surface of the Aluminum core, CCA wire has superb electrical properties compared to solid copper; even the material composition is 85% inner Aluminum core and 15% outer copper cladding. CCA wire possesses the characteristics of both copper wire and Aluminum wire: low density from Aluminum wire and good conductor from copper wire. CCA wire is widely used in different electrical applications requiring the conductivity of copper while retaining much of the weight advantages of Aluminum.
Properties of Copper Clad Aluminum Wires:
- DC resistivity: DC resistivity of copper clad Aluminum wire is 1.5 times than that of pure copper wire
- Light Weight: Weight percentage between CCA wire and pure copper wire is 37% to 40%.
- Low Cost: Under the circumstance of the same weight and wire size, CCA wire length is 2.5 to 2.7 times more that pure copper wire, which lowers the production cost.
- Environmental Friendly: CCA wire saves the copper resources and the production process is nonpolluting.
- Wide Range of Usage: High-frequency signal cables, Standard wire , Conductor of electric power cable , Conductor of automotive cable , Building distribution wire , Fuse , Radio frequency shielding , Conductor of control cable ,Cotton covered wire bulbar and many other products.
