Product description
Features
- Made from pure copper or high-conductivity copper.
- Rectangular or square in cross-section rather than round.
- Either bare copper or enameled, depending on the application.
- High electrical conductivity and mechanical strength.
- Usually manufactured to precise dimensions under technical standards.
Applications
Rectangular wire is widely used in:
- Transformers.
- Electric motors.
- Generators.
- Inductors.
- High-power electrical equipment.
Scrap sources
Rectangular wire scrap is usually recovered from:
- Rejects from flat copper wire production.
- Used transformers and electric motors.
- Industrial electrical equipment.
- Replaced or dismantled coils.
Value
- Clean bare copper usually sells at or near the Mill Berry price thanks to its high purity.
- Enameled wire has to be stripped or treated before recycling, so its price is lower.
- Value depends on purity, copper recovery rate and the amount of impurities.
