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. Aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium-conductor_steel...

   Sample cross-section of high tension power (pylon) line, showing 1 strand (7 wires) of steel surrounded by 4 concentric layers of aluminium. Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines.

4. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

   Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current.

5. ACCC conductor - Wikipedia

   For example, 1.107 in (28.1 mm) diameter ACCC "Drake" conductor at 75 °C has an AC resistance of 106 mΩ/mile, [7] while equivalent ACSR conductor has an AC resistance of 139 mΩ/mile, [8] 31% higher. Sag Comparison Test Data: temperature vs. sag of various conductor types on a 215' test span.

6. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

   (E.g. 1 mm diameter wire is ~18 AWG, 2 mm diameter wire is ~12 AWG, and 4 mm diameter wire is ~6 AWG). This quadruples the cross-sectional area and conductance. A decrease of ten gauge numbers (E.g. from 12 AWG to 2 AWG) multiplies the area and weight by approximately 10, and reduces the electrical resistance (and increases the conductance ) by ...

7. Copper-clad aluminium wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-clad_aluminium_wire

   This improved conductivity over bare aluminum makes the copper-clad aluminium wire a good fit for radio frequency use. The skin effect is similarly exploited in copper-clad steel wire, such as the center conductors of many coaxial cables, which are commonly used for high frequency feedlines with high strength and conductivity requirements.
