Copperweld® Wire and Strand High Strength / Extra High Strength

Features:

• Stronger than copper – the steel component of Copperweld® wire creates a strong conductor which can withstand more mechanical abuse than solid copper wire.
• Easy installation – a special heat treat process results in a very malleable wire that is easy to handle and install without special tools or equipment.
• Theft resistant because the copper cladding is permanently bonded to the central steel core, Copperweld® wire and strand offers very little scrap value, discouraging theft and leaving the grounding system intact.
• Corrosion resistant – Copperweld® wire and strand exhibits the same corrosion-resistant properties as copper, but maintains the high strength of steel.

Applications:

• Overhead Ground Wire – The combination of conductivity, corrosion-resistance and high strength are the foundation of this protection.
• Guy Wire – Copperweld® HS and EHS strand can be used as a corrosion-resistant guying material for distribution and transmission lines.
• Messenger wire – High strength and conductivity make Copperweld® wire and strand a good choice for this application.
