- the word “driver” here refers to a body electrically conductive, elongated, the length of which is large by relative to its transverse dimensions, such as a wire, a band, a bar or a tube.
- Aluminum electrical conductors are widely used in the transportation of electrical energy. These drivers are most often in the form of bars, flats, wires or cables.
- Aluminum-core electrical wires and cables which may include a coating made of insulating material, are generally obtained from a wire "machine” cast and rolled continuously which is then drawn to the desired diameter. Sons, or strands, unitary can then be assembled to form the conductive core of a cable.
