REFLECTOR: CCA Primary wire

[Terry Miles]

Ah, I didn't know that.  I just know that Eric invested in this stuff, had
an exclusive really but then couldn't get guys interested, that's part of
the why he turned to Stein..it was sitting on his shelf.

Terry,

 

I agree it's not worth changing out wire that's already in place.  I don't
even think it's worth replacing copper wire that hasn't been fished (which
is my situation).  However, in large aircraft it can make a difference, and
Boeing and Airbus DO use a lot of this stuff!  It's a well proven product;
it just hasn't been readily available in small quantities until Eric Jones
had a batch manufactured for homebuilders.

I am not a chemist or a metallurgist, but if this stuff is as good, or even
better, why isn't in wider use?  I would never want to re-fish my primary
battery to starter cables.  .just my humble opinion.or fear of the untested
for my own needs as well as re-sale one day which I hope is very far off.

This is the link to some primary wire which is copper clad aluminum, 40% to
50% lighter than solid copper.
<http://periheliondesign.com/fatwires_files/fatwiremanual.pdf> AWG-2 FatWire
Manual.pdf   on the page has the claims for it.  Supposed to have same
current capacity as solid an half the weight.
