Braided Copper

Wires

Braided copper wires are used in

different segments of the industries. It

is a unique kind of the insulated wires

that remains a top conductor of

electricity. It has a distinct property that

distinguishes it from the bare copper

wires. The braided copper wires

have come a long way since the first

set of copper wires were first used in

the 18th century in telegraph

machines. The use of insulated copper

wires have gradually reached a

pinnacle Owing to their extraordinary

features, the braided copper wires

have been given a new lease of life in

terms of their look, properties and

diameters.

The braided copper wires used in the automotive industries

vary from the ones used in the telecom industry. The industrial

applications using the copper wires are different from the ones

used in domestic appliances. The copper wires and the braided

types have made the technology much more progressive and

sophisticated.

We tell you some of the most common places where you are

likely to find the copper wires.

2 Computer peripherals and mainframes:

3 Automotive engineering:

4 Marine engineering:

1 Circuit breakers:

There is absolutely nothing in this

world that the copper wires can’t

conduct. They are used in buildings

and offices where electricity is

supplied. Owing to their excellent

conductivity, the sensitive copper wires

are used in circuit breakers. Use of all-

copper appliances has encroached

into every corner of the living space.

We may survive without the internet

network, but living without the copper

wires is a hard task to do!

2 Computer peripherals and mainframes:

While the internet is the leading

segment in reaching out to the people

across the world, it is the copper wire

that makes it possible! Braided and

bare copper wires are found

extensively in the computer

mainframes. The versatile applications

of the copper wires in the form of

stranded as well as braided coiling

ensure that they fit any circuit kit. Size

no longer matters. Copper wires can

be drawn into smallest of diameters to

suit the requirement. The unique

ductile wires have made these

applications absolutely unmatchable.

3 Automotive engineering:

All those cars vrooming past you on the roads have the dignified

copper wire circuits rolling the power. The transmission and the

electronic system obtusely use the braided and stranded copper

wires. Even the ground system of the cars is made from copper. The

braking system with ABS is controlled using the purest of braided

copper wires. For the timely indicator signals flashing the manoeuvre,

copper wires are used. Even the reclining system used in the seats is

controlled using copper wires. As the diameters go thinner, the size of

the cars and the circuits used inside them are likely to shrink further!

4 Marine engineering:

Braided copper wires are resistant to corrosion inflicted

by grease, high temperature and the salty medium. They

are used in the marine units of ships, waterlogged

pumps, submerged generators and even submarines.

The deeper it gets, the increased pressure affect the

properties like electrical conductivity. The braided

copper wires ensure that the conductivity remains

unaffected.
