Pure copper wire has higher strength and elongation than ECCA Wire(XINYU-ENAMELEDWIRE) http://www.xinyu-enameledwire.com/ , which means pure copper is better than copper-clad aluminum in mechanical properties. From the point of view of wire design, pure copper wire has better mechanical strength than ECCA wire, which is not necessarily required in practical application. ECCA wires are much lighter than pure copper, so the overall weight of ECCA wires is lighter than pure copper wires, which will bring convenience to the transportation and erection of wires. In addition, ECCA wire is softer than pure copper wire, and ECCA wire is better than the pure copper wire in flexibility.
2. Electrical Performance
Because the conductivity of aluminum is poorer than that of copper, the DC resistance of ECCA wire is larger than that of pure copper wire. Whether this affects mainly depends on whether the wire will be used for power supply, such as supplying power to amplifiers. If it... less
