Aluminum is a lightweight metal, cheaper than copper, but brittle and with higher internal resistance. In the Soviet Union, most of the intra-house networks were laid with aluminum, the logic of the designers was clear - it was cheap and since everything was plastered and hidden in the walls, there were no problems with further operation; they did not think about grounding household appliances at all.
The essence of choosing wires is not to overpay and not to lose the benefits that the convenience of power supply at home promises. Wires and cables are covered with layers of insulation. Wires have a plastic coating around a strand of metal, and cables have a layer of protective sheathing around several braided wires.
When choosing a wire, it is easier to go from the diameter of the wire to the size of the square cross-section of the wire. A wire in its cross-section is not necessarily a circle; it can also be a square, a rectangle, or even a triangle. With a triangular cross-section of the wire, it is difficult to determine the diameter, so it is customary to count the wires as the cross-sectional area.
Area of a triangular core with three wires in the cable: S=n*r 2 /3
Area of a triangular core with four wires in the cable: S=n*r 2 /4
Wires laid together heat up and warm each other up, therefore, to select a wire or cable using the table “Permissible long-term currents for wires and cables”, select the type of wire or cable, find the corresponding power (first digit) and current (second digit), find the cross-section cores of wire or cable.
The current does not depend on voltage, but only on the power of the consumer. Therefore, the voltage that the consumer is supplied with does not matter. Only current.
On sale there are cables marked GOST and TU. Usually GOST is a normal cross-section, i.e. the cross-section corresponds to the area, but TU is a reduced cross-section, for example, the VVG 3*6 TU cable has a core cross-section corresponding to the VVG 3*4 cable. That is why it is better to buy wires with a caliper in your hands.

depending on their number when laid together
The industry produces a large number of wires and cables. A relatively small quantity is available in stores, which is enough to power the home. Insulation breakdown voltage is the voltage at which the insulation of a wire or cable can break down, so the higher this indicator, the more reliable and durable the cable.
VVGng - cable, each core is made of copper in vinyl chloride insulation and the cable sheath is made of vinyl chloride, the cable is flame retardant, breakdown voltage is 0.66 kV. The cores are all single-wire, i.e. whole. The cable is intended for industrial use.
AVVGng - cable, each core is made of aluminum in vinyl chloride insulation and the cable sheath is made of vinyl chloride, the cable is flame retardant, breakdown voltage 0.66 kV. The cores are all single-wire, i.e. whole. The cable is intended for industrial use.

Cable weight calculator
Calculate the weight of the AVBbShv, VVGng, VVG, KVVG, SIP-4 cable by length using an online calculator - a table of the weight of 1 m of cable and the weight of copper/aluminum in the cable.
We suggest calculating the weight of the cable and wire using this online calculator or manually using the tables below. The program database contains data on the mass of over 1040 conductors. To quickly select the product you need, use the keyboard (search by first letter). The cable calculator uses reference information from manufacturers, however, minor calculation errors are acceptable. The tool can be useful when selecting the carrying capacity of delivery vehicles or when calculating the load on support structures and power lines. The weight and size characteristics of cable drums are taken from GOST 5151-79. To get the calculation result, click the “ Calculate ” button.

Cable weight calculator #1
Determining the approximate cost of a cable for scrap metal based on its technical parameters (cable brand, cross-section and number of cores)
- 1 Cut a small piece of cable as shown in the picture
- 2 Using a caliper, measure the diameter of one core and enter the value in “mm” (millimeters) in the “Conductor Thickness” line.
- 3 Count the number of individual cores in the “bundle” and enter the value in the “Number of cores” line
- 4 Enter the cable length in meters in the “Enter cable length” line (the more accurately you specify this parameter, the more accurately we can calculate the metal content)

Cable channel
Cable channels are electrical installation boxes used for laying lines of different voltage levels and purposes (from high-voltage power lines to cable communication channels). Depending on the material of manufacture, they can be metal or plastic.
The boxes are laid both on horizontal (floor, ceiling) and vertical (walls) surfaces. To protect the wiring placed in them from environmental influences, the channels are covered with special covers.

Density of copper and its specific gravity - units of measurement, examples of weight calculation
The density of copper (pure), the surface of which has a reddish tint and a pinkish tint at the fracture, is high.
Accordingly, this metal also has a significant specific gravity. Due to its unique properties, primarily excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, copper is actively used for the production of elements of electronic and electrical systems, as well as products for other purposes. In addition to pure copper, its minerals are also of great importance for many industries. Despite the fact that there are more than 170 types of such minerals in nature, only 17 of them have found active use.
Copper is widely used in manufacturing
Copper density value
The density of this metal, which can be viewed in a special table, has a value equal to 8.93 * 103 kg/m3. Also in the table you can see another characteristic of copper, no less important than density: its specific gravity, which is also 8.93, but measured in grams per cm3. As you can see, for copper the value of this parameter coincides with the density value, but do not think that this is typical for all metals.
The density of this, and any other metal, measured in kg/m3, directly affects the mass of products made from this material. But to determine the mass of a future product made of copper or its alloys, for example, brass, it is more convenient to use the value of their specific gravity rather than density.
Specific Gravity Calculation
Today, many methods and algorithms have been developed for measuring and calculating not only density, but also specific gravity, which make it possible to determine this important parameter even without the help of tables. Knowing the specific gravity, which differs between different alloys of copper and pure metal, as well as the density value, you can effectively select materials for the production of parts with given parameters. It is very important to carry out such measures at the design stage of devices in which it is planned to use parts made of copper and its alloys.

Cable weight calculator #2
Determining the approximate price of a cable based on the percentage of metal content in the cable
- 1 Weigh a piece of cable on a high-precision scale and enter the value in window No. 1
- 2 Remove the insulation from the cable, freeing it from the PVC sheath and armor.
- 3 Weigh the pure metal (in this case aluminum) and enter the value in window No. 2
- 4 In window No. 3, enter the approximate amount of uncleaned cable in kilograms
- 4 So we get the approximate amount that you will receive after handing over the cable.

GOST cable
The choice of brand of cable products by cross-section, material, and installation method is regulated by such regulatory documents as:
- GOST R 50571.5.52-2011;
- GOST 31947-2012;
- GOST 10348-80;
- GOST 7399-97;
- PEU-7.
The requirements of these documents need to be known not only to specialists involved in electrical installation work, but also to simple home craftsmen who independently install wiring in their houses and apartments.

Welding cable design
The basis is conductive copper core , consisting of a large number of wires of small diameter (about 0.2 mm). The number of wires can vary and range from 1 to 5. Welders use wires with one core.
The insulation is a rubber shell made of natural (RTI-1) or butadiene (RTI-2) rubber.
Between the two layers there is a special film made of synthetic material, which prevents the two layers from sticking together.
In some cases, the protective film is replaced with talc or other special powder.
You should know! The cores are also in a rubber sheath : RShT-2 or RShT-2HL.
The first option implies that the wire should be used in regions with a temperate climate, the second option can be used in low temperature conditions (not lower than -60°C). You can clearly study the KG cable for a welding machine in the presented figure.

Cable calculator
On this page you can find out the approximate amount of copper or aluminum contained in the cable. To do this, you need to know the number of cores, their cross-sectional area or diameter, as well as the length of the cable.
Please note...calculations obtained as a result of entering data into the table are for informational purposes only and may differ significantly from the final value. This calculator provides theoretical data, which usually differs from actual data.
This may happen for the following reasons:
1. You entered incorrect cable data (number of cores, cross-section or cable length)
2. In cable production there are certain tolerances for underestimating the cross-section of the cores. Many unscrupulous manufacturers often abuse this in order to reduce cable production costs. As a rule, cables with large cross-sections differ from theory by 5-10%. There are some manufacturers selling cable or wire with a cross-section of 0.5-2.5 mm2 with a copper content reduced by 20-30%.
