; Aluminium has 3 delocalised electrons making it a better conductor than magnesium with only 2 delocalized electrons
Copper and aluminium are used for electric cables.
yes and it good for this jop
Aluminium is a very common metal: aluminium foils, aluminium cans, kitchen items, cables, boxes for instruments etc.
aluminium is used for making electrical cables as the metal do not melt easily
Most electrical wires use unalloyed copper. The exception is high-power overhead lines that use aluminium for its low density, which means there is a lot less mass for the towers to support, so they are lighter and less expensive. Aluminium overhead cables are either ACSR - aluminium core, steel reinforced, which uses multi-strand cables with steel strands in the centre; or AAAC which is all-aluminimum alloy conductor. AAAC cables use an aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloy with silicon 0.5-0.9%, magnesium 0.6-0.9%, iron 0.5% max, copper 0.1%, manganese 0.03%, chromium 0.03%, zinc 0.1%, boron 0.06%. The purpose of adding other elements is to increase the tensile strength of the conductors so they can be tensioned up without too much dangling.
- aluminium is cheap- aluminium has a low density- aluminium is not easy corrodable- aluminium has convenable thermal and electrical coductivities
Iron strengthens the aluminum

They mine for wire. What they sell is cables. Wind turbine cables and tower cables, Wind collection cables, Solar PV wire, Solar collection cables, Transmission and substation e.g (jumper cables) They consist of cast copper, aluminium rods.
Most electric cables are underground, to conserve space for other purposes, due to shortage of land in Singapore.
