自1820年代電磁鐵和电报被發明以来，铜一直是电线生產所需的原材料。Sturgeon, W., 1825, Improved Electro Magnetic Apparatus, Trans. Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures, & Commerce (London) 43: pp. 37–52, as cited in Miller, T.J.E, 2001, Electronic Control of Switched Reluctance Machines, Newnes, p. 7. Windelspecht, Michael, 2003, Groundbreaking Scientific Experiments, Inventions, and Discoveries of the 19th Century, XXII, Greenwood Publishing Group,  1876年电话的发明使得人們對铜线的需求不斷增加。 Pops, Horace, 2008, Processing of wire from antiquity to the future, Wire Journal International, June, pp 58-66

铜是在电线中充當电导体。Pops, Horace, 2008, Processing of wire from antiquity to the future, Wire Journal International, June, pp 58-66发电、输电、配电、电信、電爐、电子电路和无数类型的电气设备中都要用到铜线Joseph, Günter, 1999, Copper: Its Trade, Manufacture, Use, and Environmental Status, edited by Kundig, Konrad J.A., ASM International Vol. 2.03, Electrical Conductors。建筑物中的电线對铜工业來說是最重要的市场。大约一半被开采的铜用于制造电线。
