In Canada it is used in service distributions. It cuts the cost of the service distribution by about 50%. Care has to be used when installing using the proper method to prevent oxidation but once installed there is no problem with it.
One type of cable used in a lot of projects is ACWU-90 C. It is approved for above ground and direct burial installations.
The proper amperage sizing has to be followed as a larger size is used for the same ampacity as copper.
It is not used in branch wiring. As a matter of fact I have not seen it at the wholesaler for about thirty years.
What else can I help you with?
Types of enameled aluminum wire?
enameled round aluminum wire enameled flat aluminum wire enameled square aluminum wire
What is the similes for aluminum wire?
the aluminium wire was as powerful as a king.
Is it legal to use aluminum wire for a stove or dryer in Florida?
aluminum wire violates code for any use anywhere in US. If this is true, why would aluminum wire be sold? I know it is used for service entrance.
What size copper wire is equal to 0 aluminum?
Copper wire gauge sizes are not equivalent to aluminum wire gauge sizes. The gauge sizes for copper and aluminum wires are different due to their differing electrical conductivity properties. It is not possible to directly convert a copper wire size to an equivalent aluminum wire size.
Which material has a greater resistance aluminum or copper wire?
Copper wire has greater resistance than aluminum wire. This is because copper is a better conductor of electricity than aluminum. This means that copper wire will have less resistance and will be able to carry more current with less energy loss.
Types of enameled aluminum wire?
enameled round aluminum wire enameled flat aluminum wire enameled square aluminum wire
Can you mix aluminum wire with romex in a junction box?
No, do not mix aluminum wire with copper wire.
What kind of metal is in an aluminum wire?
aluminum
What is the aluminum wire equivalent to?
In the electrical trade aluminum wire is equivalent to copper wire as it is also used to carry current. To carry the same current as copper wire aluminum wire is up sized to meet the same ampacity.
What are the different kinds of barbed wire?
aluminum aluminum
Can aluminum be wire cut?
Yes you can wirecut aluminum
The development history of enameled wire?
The aluminum core magnet wire, as the name suggests, refers to the magnet wire with aluminum as the core.
What are the differences between copper and aluminum wire connectors?
Copper wire connectors are more conductive and resistant to corrosion compared to aluminum wire connectors. However, aluminum wire connectors are lighter and less expensive than copper wire connectors.
What is the length of the carbon wire if a 200 m long aluminum wire has the same resistance and cross sectional area as the carbon wire?
The length of the carbon wire would be longer than the aluminum wire due to the higher resistivity of carbon compared to aluminum. The exact length would depend on the resistivity of carbon and aluminum.
Can copper and alluminium wire of same length and diameter have same resistance?
No, copper and aluminum wire of the same length and diameter will not have the same resistance. Copper has a lower resistivity than aluminum, so a copper wire will have lower resistance compared to an aluminum wire of the same length and diameter.
What is the similes for aluminum wire?
the aluminium wire was as powerful as a king.
Is it legal to use aluminum wire for a stove or dryer in Florida?
