The Difference Between Soft Copper Stranded Wire And Hard Copper Stranded Wire

The difference between soft copper stranded wire and hard copper stranded wire

1. According to the different characteristics of hard copper stranded wire and soft copper stranded wire, they are used in different fields. Hard copper stranded wire is often used in places that need to conduct electricity and require relatively high tension due to its strong tensile strength and better conductivity, such as power distribution lines and building conductors, as well as electric shock transmission. On the cable side. Soft copper stranded wire is usually thinner than hard copper stranded wire, and has a particularly high electrical conductivity and toughness. The most common one we see is the household electrical wire, which is also used in electrical machinery as a conductor of power cables and communication equipment.

2. The difference in function between hard copper stranded wire and soft copper stranded wire is not very big. Manufacturers without experience can easily ignore the gap and choose the wrong one, which will cause great losses. Therefore, it is necessary to understand its function. more suitable for their own use.

3. The hard copper stranded wire has high tensile strength and high hardness. It is made of copper drawn and cold-worked. Soft copper stranded wire is made of hard copper stranded wire by heating to remove the residue. Compared with hard copper stranded wire, it is softer and more elastic and can be bent.
