AFL's Copperclad Steel Wire is the ideal solution for grounding wire for power type applications Composed of a steel core with coppercladding, the steel wire gives the wire its strength and the consistent layer of copper provides electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion To manufacture Copperclad Steel Wire, carbon steel (low, high strength and extra high strength) is bonded with a uniform layer of oxygen-free coppercladding to achieve 30% and 40% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard) conductivities The material is available in a single wire, 3, 7 and 19 cable strands with some sizes jacketed to give the wire a different appearance to copper OnyxCCS offers the same benefits as standard Copperclad Steel (CCS) while protecting against copper theft In addition to the inherent strength of a CCS product, OnyxCCS has a chemically-etched surface treatment which permanently darkens the standard CCS This process discourages theft of a utility's copper infrastructure and does not compromise mechanical nor electrical properties OnyxCCS is offered in all sizes of the AFL Copperclad product line To order OnyxCCS, the part number pre-fix "CCX" replaces "CCS" EX: CCX 07074DR1000F Copperclad Steel Wire OnyxCCS ® Copperclad Steel Wire Features • Demonstrates the same corrosion-resistant properties as copper while maintaining the high strength of steel • Reduces damage caused during installation or fatigue from vibration or bending • Special heat treat process results in a very malleable wire called Dead Soft Annealed (DSA) • Copper permanently bonded to the steel core prevents corrosion of the steel core • Very little scrap value, discouraging theft and leaving the grounding system intact • Compliant with IEEE 80 • Manufactured in accordance with ASTM specifications (B258, B910/B910M, B229, B228, B227) Single strand Copperclad Steel Wire in large and small diameters OnyxCCS ® Copperclad Steel Wire 3 AFLglobal com 1 (800) 866-7385 © 2016, AFL, all

Annealed Copperclad Steel Wire Copperclad Steel Wire is a strong, non-rusting, efficient grounding conductor It is composed of Coppercladding that is permanently bonded to the central steel core of each wire Copperclad provides the same conductivity and corrosion resistance as copper while maintaining the high strength of steel Dead Soft Annealed (DSA) Copperclad Steel Wire is very flexible for easy preparation and installation When compared to solid copper, Copperclad Steel Wire has faster impedance to ground for better protection of lines and equipment plus a higher resistance to thermal expansion failures It also reduces the fatigue damage caused by more than 10 times that of annealed solid copper Copperclad Steel Wire is an excellent solution for areas with high rates of copper theft as the amount of copper used in the bonding process is minimal—6% to 10% depending on the conductivity When Copperclad Steel Wire is used in place of copper, the grounding conductor is far less likely to be stolen This feature is important not only from an economic standpoint, but also from the standpoint of safety and reliability Often, the fact that a copper downlead has been removed is not evident until a surge current causes a failure in the system 4 AFLglobal com 1 (800) 866-7385 © 2016, AFL, all rights reserved PP-3-00817, Revision 9, 11 13 2023 Specifications are subject to

current for the identified duration and meet a minimum breaking load as required by the substation design (typically 5,000 pounds) The key to properly sizing copperclad steel wire is the actual fault current requirement Often copper is physically oversized to gain the physical strength needed in the application With Copperclad, the physical strength is inherent to the product so the primary consideration is electrical Table below compares the ampacity ratings of copper and Copperclad Steel Wire which allows the user to visually select the Copperclad equivalent For example: Requirements: The equivalent to 4/0 copper per the IEEE Fusing Chart is 19#9 40% A typical maximum fault current for a distribution substation is ~18 kA at 30 cycles Most engineers upsize to 4/0 copper in order to meet the mechanical strength requirement AFL solution: A 2/0 copper or 7#6 Copperclad Steel Wire conductor will meet this requirement instead of the larger size 4/0 copper commonly used for ground grids The conductor safety margin for 7#6 Copperclad Steel Wire is 30% and meets the fault current and mechanical strength requirements Selecting the Right Size for the Application 40% CCS Overview

Copperclad Composite (CCC) Conductors provide strength and conductivity by combining hard drawn copper with 30% conductivity EHS Copperclad Steel Wire With its steel component, the CCC conductor achieves a higher tensile strength CCC conductors feature a higher ampacity for the same wire size as standard Copperclad Steel Wire Ordering Information Contact AFL for detailed specifications not shown Type K—4 Copperclad Steel Wires and 3 Copper Wires Ordering Information Contact AFL for detailed specifications Copperclad Type M Guy Wire Copperclad Type M guy wire is an economical, corrosion-resistant guying material for use on overhead lines The coppercladding that is bonded on each wire protects the high-strength steel core from rusting and subsequent loss of strength 7-strand
