Scientifically, the best conductor of electricity is silver, due to its atomic structure which allows electrons to flow with the least amount of resistance. However, because silver is extremely expensive, it is not practical for large-scale applications such as power transmission lines.

For electrical wiring and power conductors, the best materials are chosen based on a balance of high conductivity, cost-effectiveness, weight, and durability. This is why copper and aluminum are the most widely used materials.

• Copper is highly conductive, durable, and resistant to corrosion, making it a preferred choice for many electrical wiring and components.

• Aluminum is also a great conductor and is significantly lighter and more affordable than copper. Its low weight-to-conductivity ratio makes it the ideal material for long-distance overhead transmission lines, where its light weight reduces the load on towers and civil structures. We provide specialized tension stringing equipment designed for the safe and efficient installation of aluminum and steel-reinforced aluminum conductors.

At Ningbo Changshi, we focus on providing the essential tools and equipment needed to handle these practical, high-performance conductors used in power line projects worldwide.
