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:

  • Grounding conductors for primary surge arresters

Description

Copperweld® wire and strand has been utilized and relied upon for years as a strong,
non-rusting, efficient grounding conductor. Combining the strength of steel with the conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper, Copperweld® wire and strand provides a long lasting, low impedance path to the earth. It is also less susceptible to theft because it is a bimetallic product and does not have the high scrap value of solid copper. When annealed, Copperweld® wire and strand exhibits the flexibility necessary for easy handling.

To eliminate the possibility of damage from lightning strikes or short-circuit conditions, an efficient, reliable grounding system is necessary to rapidly dissipate the surge current to ground. Whatever the grounding application may be, there is a Copperweld® conductor available in the size, conductivity and strength that is required.
