Aluminium has been used for many years as a heat, insulation, shielding and transmission material in many fields. In the electrical industry aluminium is mainly used as a conductor. In addition to pure aluminium, many aluminium alloys are used. These alloys consist of compounds with good conductivity and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.
Some of the advantages of aluminium are that it is lighter (about one-third the density of copper), easier to process than copper and economically cheaper than copper, which is used in many areas. For example, it is used in many areas such as internal cabling, foils in transformer windings. Starting from the 1990s until today, it is seen that aluminium has replaced copper.
Electrical Elements where aluminium is used are as follows;
- Coolers
- Cables
- Bus-bar
- Air Lines
- Motors
- Heating Elements
- Aluminium Windings
