Copper is the second most conductive metal in the world behind silver, but due to its abundance and how easy it is to work with, copper is considered the standard in electrical work. Copper is also the standard by which all other conductive metals are judged. In 1913, the International Electro-Technical Commission set its conductivity at 100 percent of the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS). The metal resists galvanic corrosion – the gradual deterioration of one metal in electrical contact with another metal – and is durable enough that it avoids stretching, nicks and breaks. However, copper is not invincible.
