SOLID COPPER WIRE

APPLICATIONS

Solid bare copper and stranded conductor wires are a reliable choice for underground and grounding applications. These solid strand offers excellent resistance to corrosion and long-term durability
in harsh conditions.
Commonly used to connect electrical systems to ground rods and concrete-encased electrodes, it is available in soft temper for flexibility and in harder tempers for added strength in overhead and
utility applications.
