Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) or Electrical Interference (EI) Plus more surface area because each strand has it's own electric field wich in total all of the wires add up compared to one solid wire.

Why stranded wires are twisted?

Stranded conductors are made up of many smaller solid conductors. In order to bunch the solid conductors to make the stranded wire they have to be held together. The simplest way of doing this is to twist them together. Once the solid wires are twisted together they are drawn through a machine that applies the insulation coating which holds the solid wires together. The final result is a insulated stranded conductor that has good flexibility. With this flexibility multiple stranded conductors can be easily be drawn through conduit systems that incorporate up to four 90 degree bends between junction boxes.

RM-Conductor of Multiple stranded wires of circular cross section.


What has the most common element used in wires?

Copper is used in electric wires because it is the best conductor of electricity that is known, apart from silver which is slightly better. For overhead wires a common material to use is aluminum because it is much lighter, although not such a good conductor. Overhead high-voltage wires usually use aluminium stranded wire with one or more steel strands in the centre to give strength.

How do you connect a 10 gauge wire to an 8 gauge wire?

Connecting different gauge wires are just like connecting wires of the same gauge. Connect the wires just as you normally would, and then once the you attach the wire nut, give the thinner wire a slight tug to make sure the wire is securely fastened. Usually when attaching fixtures, they are generally stranded wires. Be sure to twist the strands together before twisting them onto the solid wire. Then attach the nut onto them and tighten it securely. Connecting different gauge wires are just like connecting wires of the same gauge.

What do you use to couple 10 gauge wire together?

The electrical terminology for this device is a wire nut. If the two #10 wires are solid, twist the two stripped ends together with pliers and apply the nut to the wire ends. If the two # 10 wires are stranded lay the two stripped ends parallel to each other and apply the wire nut. Do not twist the stranded wires together.

What metal is mostly used with copper coated wires?

Wires are made of copper and sometimes coated with silver for use at frequencies above 1 GHz. Wires used on overhead power lines are usually stranded aluminimum with inner strands of steel.


What are the two types of wires and which is the most commonly uses in automobile?

Two basic types of wire are used: solid and stranded .Solid wires are single strand conductors.Stranded wires are the most common and are made up of a number of small solid wires twisted together to form a single conductor.
