South America has become a growing market for power distribution equipment and electrical infrastructure, especially in countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia. Among the materials used, 1050 aluminum strip is a widely chosen option for transformer winding due to its excellent conductivity and cost-effectiveness. This article outlines the most popular specifications requested in the region.

Why 1050 Aluminum?

1050 aluminum belongs to the high-purity 1xxx series and contains more than 99.5% aluminum. Its main advantages are:

• Excellent electrical conductivity
• Good ductility and formability
• Lightweight and corrosion-resistant
• Cost-efficient compared to copper

These properties make it ideal for low and medium voltage transformer windings.
