Copper often gets the spotlight in electrical systems, but aluminum continues to gain popularity across many applications.
Why?
Because it offers an attractive combination of conductivity, weight savings, corrosion resistance, and affordability.
Benefits of aluminum include:
- Lightweight construction
- Excellent conductivity-to-weight ratio
- Corrosion resistance
- Lower overall material costs
- Ease of fabrication
Today, aluminum can be found throughout power distribution systems, electrical equipment, enclosures, transformers, and numerous supporting components.
As manufacturers look for ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs, aluminum continues to be an important material solution.
