From the very common household electrical wiring to boat propellers as well as from photovoltaic cells to saxophones, copper, along with its alloys are employed in a myriad of end-uses! The metal's use in fact, in a wide-range of core industries, has resulted in the investment community turning to copper prices which are an indicator of overall economic health, spurring the better understanding of various applications of copper.

Moreover, the Copper Development Association (CDA) has also categorized them into four end-use sectors which are electrical, construction, transport, as well as other.

Here we can see the percentage of global copper production by copper manufacturers in India as well as by each sector is estimated by the CDA to be:

• On Electrical    65%

• On Construction 25%

• On Transport    7%

• Others           3%

Here, we are going to explore the electrical uses of copper:

Copper wire manufacturers in India knows for a fact that, apart from silver, copper is the great and most effective conductor of electricity. Copper, combined with its corrosion resistance, malleability, ductility, as well as ability to work within a wide range of power networks, brands the metal the perfect metal for electrical wiring.

Virtually all the electrical wiring, save for overhead power lines that are made from more lightweight aluminum are manufactured with copper.

In addition to that, the busbars - the conductors that distribute power, motor windings, and transformers are also all dependent upon the conductivity of copper. Copper wire manufacturers in India owe to its effectiveness as a conductor of electricity, well, copper transformers can be up to 99.75% efficient.

Copper manufacturers in India involve a lot of electrical applications, that includes televisions, computer technology, mobile phones as well as portable electronic devices, have in the recent decades become a major consumer of copper.

And within these devices, copper is important to the production of the following devices such as:

• Electronic connectors

• Printed circuit boards

• Circuitry wiring and contacts

• Micro-chips

• Magnetrons in your microwaves

• Semiconductors

• Electromagnets

• Vacuum tubes

• Welding electrodes

• Commutators

• Heat sinks

• Fire sprinkler systems

Uses Of copper in Telecommunication:

The finely twisted copper wires are used in HDSL as well as ADSL wiring for local area network (LAN) internet lines. The Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) lines also contain eight color-coded conductors, that are constructed of four pairs of really thin copper wires. Despite the increase in wireless technology, the interface devices such as modems as well as routers yet remain dependent on copper.
