What are the benefits of bare copper wires
                     What are the benefits 
of bare copper wires? 
Wires are the basic unit of all 
electrical systems. Electric wires 
are a cluster of wires used for 
distributing electricity. While 
selecting wires for home or office 
electrical supply, you must 
consider a lot of factors. The most 
important being safety. Wires can 
withstand consistent electric 
currents and resist accidental short 
circuits. One of the major reasons 
for electrical failure is the wire 
used in the appliance. Hence, you 
must know about the various 
types of wires and their popular 
applications. 
Copper is the most common metal used to make electrical wires. It is a better 
conductor of electricity. While copper is highly conductive, aluminum has only 30 
percent of weight as compared to copper. This makes wires made of aluminium 
easier to spread across long distances. 
Still, copper is used in all major electrical settings. Its use is more prevalent in homes 
and businesses. A wide range of appliances ranging from circuit breakers to heavier 
appliances use copper. Copper is also found in computer system mainframes. The 
atomic number of copper is 29. 
A lot of varieties of copper wires are available in the market like – bare copper 
wires, tinned copper, Indian bare copper windings, stranded copper wires, etc. 
Amongst this, bare copper is a very popular type of copper wire used in electrical 
systems. Let’s know more about bare copper wires and their application. 
What is a bare copper wire? 
A bare copper wire consists of a single-
stranded wire. It has high ductility and 
contains small amounts of copper oxide 
impurities. They are manufactured 
keeping in mind conductivity elongation, 
resistance, and diameter. As they are 
highly conductive, they are more used in 
residential settings. They are also used as 
a base for different types of wires and 
cables. 
Bare copper wire is also known as 
ground wire as it has no protective 
shield. In places with high moisture 
content and other natural factors, 
engineers prefer a bare copper wire with 
no insulation than an insulated copper 
wire. 
Copper is resistant to atmospheric 
corrosion which increases its demand in 
the market. 
Benefits of bare copper wire:
- It is extracted naturally using metallurgical and 
engineering methods with limited waste 
management. 
- It is used as a single strand and can withstand 
temperature up to 100 degrees Celsius. 
- It is used to make braided copper wires due to 
high flexibility. 
- They can sustain contraction and expansion 
during extreme weather changes. 
- Appliances that use bare copper wires are 
recyclable. The copper wire is coated with 
advanced metallurgical tools to improve its 
magnetic and electrical properties. 
- Bare copper wires are long-lasting. They do not 
need frequent repairing and do not become 
loose with increased use. 
- Bare copper wires are highly recommended for 
appliances that emit a large amount of heat as 
they do not catch fire.
They are safe and do not melt with overloading or 
surge. 
The advantages justify why 
bare copper wires are 
preferred in the electronics 
industry. It is a universally 
accepted standard for 
manufacturing wires.
