Copper and aluminium stranded conductors
acc. to DIN 48201 part 1 and 5Technical dataConstruction and applicationStranded conductors consisting out of copper or aluminium wires with stronger wire-Ø and an corresponding breaking load of the ropes. Applications as electrical conductors inside of energy supply companies. The values of the current capacity are in accordance with DIN 48201. They are approximate values by a frequency up to 60 hertz and a wind velocity of 0,6 m per second and solar influence for an initial atmospheric temperature of +35° C and a maximum cable temperature of +80° C. In special cases where there is a complete lack of wind the figures should be reduced by average of about 30 %.Technical dataMaterial copperCu-ETP1 wires acc. to DIN EN 13602wire-Ø from 1,35 mm up to 3,25 mmSurfaceuncoated or tinnedDeliveryin rings or on wooden drumsTechnical dataMaterial aluminiumhard aluminium wireswire-Ø from 1,7 mm up to 3,74 mmSurfaceuncoatedDeliveryin rings or on wooden drums

Copper is one of the best conductors of electricity and it has high melting point so it won't melt due to heating.
