Advantages of 1070 Transformers Winding Aluminium Strip Over Copper

Advantage Category Description
Cost Efficiency 1070 Transformers Winding Aluminium Strip has significant advantages in cost control. Compared to copper, the raw material cost of aluminum is typically 30% to 50% lower, making it an economical choice for transformer winding materials. Although aluminum’s conductivity is slightly lower than copper, by increasing the conductor cross-sectional area by about 66%, 1070 aluminum strip can achieve comparable electrical performance to copper windings. Considering both material costs and electrical performance, 1070 aluminum strip effectively reduces manufacturing costs while maintaining overall efficiency, especially suitable for mass production and standardized power transformers.
Weight Reduction 1070 Transformers Winding Aluminium Strip has a much lower density (only 2.7 g/cm³) compared to copper (8.96 g/cm³), significantly reducing the weight for the same volume. This lightweight feature makes the entire transformer structure more compact, helps reduce transportation costs and installation complexity, and is especially suitable for overhead or space-constrained applications. Additionally, weight reduction helps lower the load on the foundation structure, enhancing overall system stability and safety.
Corrosion Resistance 1070 Transformers Winding Aluminium Strip has excellent corrosion resistance due to the rapid formation of a dense aluminum oxide protective film on its surface in natural environments. This natural oxide layer has good stability, effectively blocking air, moisture, and chemical substances from corroding the material. In contrast, copper is more prone to oxidation in humid or polluted environments, forming green rust that affects conductivity. Therefore, 1070 aluminum strip is particularly suitable for humid, coastal, or highly polluted industrial environments, helping to improve the long-term operational reliability and service life of transformers.
Ease of Processing 1070 Transformers Winding Aluminium Strip offers excellent ductility and plasticity, making it easier to stamp, cut, bend, and weld during transformer manufacturing. Especially in complex winding designs, aluminum strip better adapts to precise structural layouts, ensuring tight and orderly windings. Additionally, 1070 aluminum’s weldability surpasses that of most copper materials, facilitating automated production and efficient assembly, improving production efficiency and reducing manufacturing difficulty. These processing advantages make it an ideal choice for modern high-performance power equipment.

1070 O aluminum strip is a cost-effective, high-performance solution for modern transformer windings. Its excellent electrical efficiency, thermal management, and mechanical flexibility make it an ideal choice for applications ranging from small distribution transformers to large industrial equipment.

Incorporating 1070 O aluminum strip in transformer design can improve performance, reliability, and reduce manufacturing costs.
