Advantages & Disadvantages of Ec Grade vs Non Ec Grade - Mukesh Traders

Advantages of using wires made out of Electrolytic Copper

  • By using wires made out of Electrolytic Copper, in a power starved country like India, there will be considerable savings in Electricity consumption.
  • Increased productivity due to reduction in downtime.
  • Energy cost saving makes an Industry competitive
  • Globally, Industries are relentlessly trying to manufacture equipments, which are energy efficient, safe and eco-friendly, and this can be achieved only by using standard quality input.
  • Some Electricity Boards in India are offering subsidy and/or supplying Electricity free of cost to the Farmers; these losses incurred by the Electricity Boards could be reduced to a considerable extent by saving Power.


Disadvantages of using wires made out of Secondary Copper (Non-electrolytic Grade)

  • Higher consumption of electric power.
  • It is technologically regressive and undesirable in terms of quality and safety. Such wide usage of sub-standard quality of copper can cause direct, indirect and latent losses to the National Economy.
  • Such equipments bear a much higher Safety Risk/hazard during use, thereby inflicting danger to human lives and fire hazard to property.
  • Inefficient working of equipment with consequent manifold breakdown, frequent repairs, etc.
