1. Corrosion: Bare Copper Wire is prone to corrosion. When exposed to moisture or humidity, it can form copper oxide, making it less conductive. This corrosion can be problematic because it can affect the performance of electrical devices.
2. Insulation: Bare Copper Wire doesn't have an insulation coating, which means it can't be used in applications where it may come into contact with other wires or conductive materials. This can pose a risk of short circuiting and even might lead to electrical shock.
3. Fragility: Bare Copper Wire is not as strong as coated wires. It can be easily bent, twisted or damaged, which can lead to connectivity issues.
4. Heat Damage: Bare Copper Wire is not suitable for high-temperature applications because it has a low melting point. If it is exposed to high temperatures, it can melt and cause a short circuit.
Bare Copper Wire is widely used in the power industry for a variety of applications. However, it has some disadvantages that should be taken into consideration. Despite its drawbacks, it remains an essential component for many electrical systems and might be preferred in some applications. It's essential to have a clear understanding of your project's requirements and limitations before deciding to use Bare Copper Wire.
