According to reports, South Korean wire manufacturers were continuing to expand the use of aluminum alloys on cable conductors to gradually replace traditional electrolytic copper materials.

Although the conductivity of aluminum was slightly worse than that of copper, the price was more than three times cheaper and the safety was relatively high. Therefore, the South Korean wire industry was actively carrying out relevant research.

It was estimated that with the gradual increase in the amount of wire used in temporary power cables and wires and many construction sites, the influence of aluminum cable wires in the field of public project construction will become more and more important in the future.
