| Typical use | Single-phase submains, meter-to-board runs |
Aluminium carries less current than copper of the same size, so the fair comparison is by current. The copper size closest to this cable's 48 A is 6 mm²:
| Property | 10 mm² aluminium | 6 mm² copper |
|---|---|---|
| Current capacity, 2 loaded conductors | 48 A | 46 A |
| Max resistance at 20 °C | 3.08 Ω/km | 3.08 Ω/km |
| Conductor weight per 100 m of core | 2.7 kg | 5.3 kg |
For about the same current, aluminium is the lighter conductor, which is why it is used for service lines and long feeders; copper is smaller for the same job and easier to terminate.
| Size | Current capacity, 2 loaded | Max resistance at 20 °C |
|---|---|---|
| 10 mm² (this cable) | 48 A | 3.08 Ω/km |
| 16 mm² | 66 A | 1.91 Ω/km |
Line and neutral in one run for single-phase supply.
Service connection from the meter to the main distribution board.
Lower-cost feeder runs where weight and budget favour aluminium.
Current capacity with two loaded conductors, BS 7671 reference method C, 30°C ambient. Same class 2 aluminium construction in every size.
