2. Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_building_wiring

   Also, the size of the aluminum wire needs to be larger compared to copper wire used for the same circuit due to the increased resistance of the aluminum alloys. For example, a 15 A branch circuit supplying standard lighting fixtures can be installed with either #14 AWG copper building wire or #12 AWG aluminum building wire according to the NEC ...

3. Copper-clad aluminium wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-clad_aluminium_wire

   A copper strip is formed into the shape of a cylinder, while it is being wrapped around an aluminum core and the edges of the copper strip are welded together. The assembly is then pulled through a die, where the cladded wire is squeezed and stretched while also improving the bonding between the copper and the aluminum core. [1]

4. Aluminium–copper alloys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–copper_alloys

   Aluminium–copper alloys (AlCu) are aluminium alloys that consist largely of aluminium (Al) and traces of copper (Cu) as the main alloying elements. Important grades also contain additives of magnesium , iron , nickel and silicon ( AlCu(Mg, Fe, Ni, Si) ), often manganese is also included to increase strength (see aluminium-manganese alloys ).

5. Copper interconnects - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_interconnects

   Copper interconnects are used in integrated circuits to reduce propagation delays and power consumption. Since copper is a better conductor than aluminium, ICs using copper for their interconnects can have interconnects with narrower dimensions, and use less energy to pass electricity through them. Together, these effects lead to ICs with ...

6. Talk:Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Aluminum_building_wiring

   It's about the building "wiring" for houses, and not just about the "wire" (or more correctly "conductor") as it is also about the wiring methods, devices, and wiring repairs. "Aluminum wire" could be used for many things including utility transmission and distribution systems discussed in other Wiki Articles (e.g. Overhead power line and ...

8. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

   Some terminations on wiring devices designed only for copper wire would overheat under heavy current load and cause fires when used with aluminium conductors. Revised standards for wire materials and wiring devices (such as the CO/ALR "copper-aluminium-revised" designation) were developed to reduce these problems. While larger sizes are still ...
