Every electrical system is distinct in its own way based on its function. The wiring itself is an insulated conductor that transports electricity. Electrical wiring is controlled by strict codes.

In the past Rubber was generally the material used for insulation. Now PVC is the better choice due to rubber deteriorating when exposed to moisture and air.

Secure connections in electrical wiring are an important issue. When a wire is attached to another device or wire, a spark can occur. Now insulated plastic wire nuts are used for attachment. Electricians also use strippers and cutters for installation as a means to remove insulation from the end of the wire to attach a bare wire.

The material used in wire has varied greatly over the years. Copper has been a top choice since it conducts electricity so well and is flexible. Copper has the highest electrical conductivity of all engineering metals. This means that a copper cable is smaller than an equivalent ampacity aluminum cable. One (1) smaller cable means an easier and less costly installation.

Compared to aluminum alloy, the harder and stronger copper conductors are more resistant to the inevitable nicks and mechanical abuse to which a cable is subjected during installation. This is a real advantage at junction and termination boxes where copper conductors can be bent further, twisted tighter and pulled harder without stretching and breaking. Conversely, aluminum is softer, has a lower modulus of elasticity than copper and cold flows away from a stressed area when connected under high pressure.
