Copper, a choice made with sense. There is a great quantity of copper in the structure of equipment, guaranteing lowest operation temperatures and money saving due to lower consumption, maintenance and replacement costs.

Copper is flexible. Due to its physical properties, it is the most flexible of all electric conductors..

Copper builds confidence. Using adequate design criteria and considering the installation o copper

Copper is a noble metal, that provides critical electric services
to all sectors
of our economy.

Copper is
versatile
. It is
used to produce electricity or communications cables, wires for coils and transformers or spirals for electromagnets. Copper properties allow higher performance in each activity.

 

conductors with greater caliper than required, facing an increase of the energy consumption demand, total confidence
is obtained
in the quality
of the energy it receives, whilst highly efficient in front of the armonics through all frequencies.


El Copper allows an optimum control
. Copper is called to have an important role in securing optimum control levels in trustfull data transmission.

Copper goes to ground. All electrical installations, specially computers and electronic controls for all modern equipment, depend on an efficient and permanent ground connection to evacuate and disperse the electric power flow with minimum resistance and provide masses with zero reference potencial.

A Copper is profitable. Although the initial cost is slightly higher, its easy installation, conductivity, durability, trustfullness and maintenance makes copper the best alternative for electric energy transmission, providing higher savings throughout time as well.


Copper is sound. Copper does not degrades with sunlight or ultraviolet light, neither does it looses strength at temperatures higher than the environment nor turns fragile under lower temperatures



COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS

Problems in the quality of energy, such as: loss of time, the client's distrust and sometimes damage to equipment, cause higher costs.

The cost of recovering lost information, including its re-typing and verification may be significant as much as an unscheduled maintenance.

Energy problems usually have two principal causes: public supply interruption or customer's defficient installations. In average, the interruption of the public network supply usually do not last more than few hours per year, but in many cases, it is responsible of other problems that really depend on the consumer due to the poor design of electric circuits, use of unappropriate materials or poor installations.


Solutions are not difficult to implement, specially when introduced in due time on the design or during the repotentiation cycle.

Although a slightly higher initial cost, redimensioning cable runs or copper bars will solve most problems of energy quality produced by harmonics overcharge.

Likewise, using copper cable runs with greater caliper may allow a fast investment recuperation as a result of having improved the electric efficiency added to a permanent annual saving. All new equipment, including industrial switches, cables, bars, transformers and engines must comply with specifications that allow efficient performance when electric energy is in use. It is a reduced investment in relation to performance costs and makes possible a cleaner environment.

All saving in energy consumption will contribute to a sustainable economic growth and it is critical to achieve our goal of having a competitive industry in the world.

Efficiency, Durability, Trust and Profitability
