Copper and aluminium are the two conductors used in transformer windings. In distribution and small power transformers, aluminiumaluminium windings have been successful. For large power transformers, a coppercopper design is more common. To select the right material, the designer has to take several factors, such as weight, maximum size, transformer total cost, availability and []

Aluminum is lighter than copper. Aluminum has a resistivity varying from to #215; 10 8 #183;m. Combined with it''s light weight and alloyed with some other metals to make it stronger, aluminum is ideal for electrical cables. It''s nonmagnetic properties allow it
Aluminum has a higher resistivity than copper, so a larger diameter is needed to match the resistance per length of copper wires, but aluminum is cheaper than copper, so this is not a major drawback. Aluminum wires do not have as high of a ductility and tensile strength as copper, but the ductility and tensile strength is within acceptable levels.

ELECTRICAL~RESISTANCE ALLOYS OF COPPER, MAN~ GANESE, AND ALUMINUM By James L. Thomas ABSTRACT An investigation has been made of the electrical properties of alloys containing from 4 to 15 percent of manganese and from 0 to 10 percent of aluminum, the remainder being copper. An alloy containing 85 percent of copper, percent of
For large coaxial cables, copperclad aluminum wire can be used to take advantage of the conductivity of copper while gaining the weight savings of aluminum. Connectors Connections rated for use with aluminum are frequently also able to be used with copper and are marked as so, such as AL7CU, a connector suitable for use with copper or aluminum conductors at 75#176;C.

#0183;#32;Copper has a significantly lower specific electrical resistivity than aluminium: 100, compared to 160. This difference is highly relevant for power cables. To attribute to an aluminium conductor the same resistance as a copper conductor, the crosssectional area of the aluminium conductor must become larger to compensate for aluminiums higher electrical resistivity.
Copper can also maintain solidity at 1083C and boils at 2567C. Like most metals, as the temperature goes up, so does the resistivity. Because of these factors, copper is widely used for electrical purposes such as electrical wires, electrical machinery and generators and is able to withstand the elements to be used in outdoor power lines.
