Aluminium
If a copper conductor is replaced by an aluminium conductor with the same conductivity, it weighs only about half as much as the copper conductor, even though it has 1.6 times the cross-section. However, the larger cross-section requires increased material consumption of all subsequent components (insulation, sheaths, armouring, protective sheaths). (All data without guarantee)
