What Is The Difference Between Stranded And Solid Cables?

Every copper wire has its unique and different properties. Their different type of manufacturing processes will let you know when to use which variety of wire. This particular knowledge will save you time, cost, and trouble. When it comes to appearance, every wire looks the same. However, the difference between the bare copper wire and the stranded wire becomes crucial when using them. There are many wires in the market and you need to find out which one will suits you better. Manufacturing of Copper Wire For manufacturing solid cable, rods are used drawn down employing a series of mini dies to meet the gauge requirements. When copper is opened up, it will get brittle and thinner. To correct the frangibility, it has to go through annealing. During this process, the cable is heated to make it more strong and ductile.  Manufacturing of Standard Copper Wire Standard cable has multiple strands twisted together to make a huge gauge product. To make stranded bare copper wire, single wir...
