Showpower’s CTO Tim Benson on The Battle of Cable Core in Power Systems: Aluminium vs Copper

Famous for his very informative but irreligious views on all things power for events via his Powerful Thinking platform, this week Tim explores the debate between aluminium and copper cables, focusing on their use in large-scale events and renewable energy projects. Offering some very important insights, for example aluminium’s advantage such as lower cost, lighter weight, and recyclability but falling short in conductivity and durability compared to copper, Tim covers the history and types of aluminium conductors and discusses the challenges of using them in event settings.
