In the real world, copper wire is about 95-99% Pure copper. Now, this process does not happen by smelting, we do that to an extent, but to get really conductive copper, metallurgists use Electrolytic Refining.
Now having a machine that can do this would be simple, it will need power, obviously, to run the anode and cathode, but I am thinking of a machine that will be able to refine conductive ingots like copper and gold, to a refined version which can be used in wires to get more wires per craft (better conductivity means a large gauge of wire is not needed) and, less EU loss over distances (Better conductivity means less current loss)

I think, electrolysing copper would be a good idea, and you could maybe make it by putting one copper ingot and one E. Water Cell in an electrolyser, getzing out an water cell and an refined copper ingot.

DAMN, why does everyone steal my "Industrial Macerator"-Idea, it was planned to include an Electrolyzer for things like that.

ENET changes already rejected, one more tier of cables not really needed.

Because, no offense, these Idea are common. Everyone want more profits on ressources if using something more expensive and harder to use (while automating, in a general way)
