Most all copper wire on the market is soft draw and will break after a few years of constant tension. Hard draw copper wire is very tough and robust. I use 18g lamp safety wire. This is the thin copper wire that servers as a safety ground and as a safety wire in case a link in the lamp chain breaks in hanging chandeliers. Copper wire should NEVER be used as your ground because ( the reasons you stated, in addition to... ) the inductance value is **** poor. Copper strap is always desirable over wire. FWIW, many people, hammies included, feel they are using copper wire when they are in reality using copper COATED wire. No matter,,, copper wire doesn't compare to copper strap. |
