PRIKAZ ISPITIVANJA ELEKTRIČNIH SVOJSTAVA BAKRA I USPOREDBA SA SVOJSTVIMA OSTALIH MATERIJALIMA

Sažetak

The paper compares the properties of copper
and its alloys with those of other materials.
Copper is one of the most frequently used
materials in electrical engineering, precisely due
to its combination of electrical and mechanical
properties, as well as its economic acceptability.
It is primarily employed in the manufacturing of
conductors. The aim of this study is to examine
the use of copper as a conductor in comparison
to some other materials or alloys for the same
purpose. The measurement results demonstrate
that copper has the best electrical conductivity
among the materials tested. Additionally, it has
been observed that the addition of impurities
to copper degrades the essential electrical
properties required for its use as a conductor. To
assess the properties of copper, steel, and steel
materials, a test model equipped with all the
necessary measuring and testing equipment was
employed.
