Their high conductivity is why transition metals are used to make electrical wires.
Because of thier high conductivity
Ductality and malleablity are the two qualities of metals which would make metals' ability to be seperated into wires and sheets respectively.
The two most common metals in order of preference are copper and aluminium.
The main reason why certain metals - such as copper or aluminum - are used to make wires is that they are extremely good conductors of electricity. If there were no metal in the wires the electricity would not be conducted by anything.Another good reason why certain metals are used to make wires is because they are "ductile". That just means they can easily be drawn through a series of smaller and smaller holes - called "dies" - to make wires of various diameters.NoteTo prevent the wires in an electrical cable from touching together - which would make a "short circuit" - or from making contact with other metal surfaces, the wires must be covered in a good insulating material such as a specially prepared plastic or rubber compound.

usually a mixture of tin and lead metals are used
Because metals are conductors.

Ductility is the property of metals that enables them to be drawn into wires......

because metals have de-stabilized electrons.Thus can conduct electricity.

Apparently mainly tinned copper is used in fuse wires. I have heard that there are a lot of other metals used as teh fuse wire though!
They are not ductile. Metals are ductile which means that they can be drawn into wires, while non-metals are usually not.
Metals can be easily drawn into wire because they are malleable. These metals are also really wonderful conductors which is why they are picked for wires.
