Bare Wires Introduction

Introduction of Copper Wire

SCR Continuous Copper Rod
Pacific Continuous Copper Rod system which produces conductor of wire and cable is one of SCR licensees of Southwire company in U.S.A. It was installed on 1983 and expanded to maximum capacity 150,000 tons per year on 1993 until now.

To ensure high quality of copper rod , high grade copper cathodes are used as raw material and natural gas is used as fuel with automatic computer control system of melting. The temperature in shaft furnace is keeping in the range of 1250℃~1350℃ to melt copper cathodes and molten copper is through continuous casting and rolling system to produce high quality 8mm copper rod.

Introduction of Aluminum Wire

Aluminum Wire
In early stages, most electric conductors had used the copper materials. Until in the early 19th century, the aluminum wires had been succeeded in using in the electric conductors in the Britain and Canada. Afterward the aluminum wires then gradually are used. This is the beginning of aluminum materials which used in the overhead transmission conductors. Due to light weight and lower cost, the aluminum conductor used in transmission & distribution electric circuit of the high voltage for electric tower and XLPE cable and also used in the terminal of electronic parts and enamelled wires, listed in below.
