Copper covered aluminum wiring

Copper covered aluminum (CCA) wiring is a type of electrical wire. It features a layer of copper that goes over aluminum. This allows for it to be stronger and more durable, helping it go the distance. This type of wiring is found in thousands of places: in homes where people live, in offices where people work, in factories where things are made.


Advantages and Disadvantages of Copper Covered Aluminum Wiring

In this article some negatives to keep in mind when we are talking about aluminum wiring covered by copper. The one big issue is that eventually, the copper layer can begin to deteriorate. That means it can weaken and not work anymore. When this happens, it can cause serious electrical problems like shorts that can make devices stop working or even fires and other dangerous situations. The other disadvantage is that this kind of wiring does not carry electricity as well as pure copper wire. When electricity travels along wires to get to you, some energy may be lost on the way through resistive power dissipation in the wire, which leads to power losses.
