Yeah Bruce, this is a great call by Rodekroet, still using copper throughout the newer production buildings. Long haul transmissions going with designed conductors.

Electrically, in established power transmission wiring standards and frequency, LiteWire has the same properties as copper conductors. Resistivity, impedance, loading, sizing, etc, copper and LiteWire are the same at 60HZ. This was intentional by our engineering department, ease of LiteWire adoption by industry. No need to change wire coating, cable winding, or wire processing equipment or processes, just change over to LiteWire and go. Every electrician can work with LiteWire utilizing the same tools, standards and instruments.

So what is different between Copper Wire and LiteWire?

It’s Carbon. LiteWire is an aligned structure conductive carbon material (CCM)in wire form. It is a 99.9% carbon structure that takes advantage of the free electrons available in carbon, while limiting the ability of the carbon to form new molecules, such as COx. The outer electrons of carbon are loosely bound and easily conduced to move from atom to atom.

It is light. LiteWire is 1/5th the weight of copper conductors. A 40lb spool of 10ga 3-wire copper wire has 200 feet of wire. A 40lb spool of 10ga 3-wire LiteWire has 800 feet of wire. Aluminum wire is ½ the weight of copper, yet requires a 50% larger diameter wire for the same conductive properties, LiteWire sizing is exactly the same as copper.

It is strong. LiteWire is stronger than steel, 20 times stronger than copper, and much stronger than 8000 series Aluminum cable. Span greater distances between towers, pull higher tension, reduce installation costs and maintenance.
