Features of Copper Clad Steel Wire
Henvcon copper clad steel wire is an excellent choice for grounding wire in power applications. Composed of a steel core with copper cladding, the copper clad steel wire provides strength while the consistent layer of copper provides electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• These copper clad steel wire reduces installation damage or fatigue from vibration or bending.
• Copper permanently bonded to the steel core prevents corrosion of the steel core.
• Low scrap value discourages theft while leaving the grounding system intact.
Applications of Copper Clad Steel Wire
• Substation grounding grid and fence ground
• Transmission lines
• Pole ground wire for distribution lines
• Communications networks
• Utility FTTx networks
The Best Copper Clad Steel Wire Manufacturer in China

FAQs
1. What is Copper-Clad Steel?
Copper-clad steel (CCS) is the result of metallically bonding steel wires with a copper coating to create a wire with the mechanical strength of steel and the corrosion-resistant and conductive nature of copper. Copper-clad steel (CCS) is almost entirely manufactured as wire, and these wires can be found in telephone cables, grounding wires, and power installations due to the effectiveness of copper-clad steel. Depending on the needs of the project, most CCS wires are made to be between 20% and 40% conductive. Because the two metals are considered married, it is impossible to separate the copper from the steel, making CCS theft-resistant.
2. Why You Need the Copper-Clad Steel?
Metallic wires are required for a variety of electrical applications, including grounding and power installations. The metal in these wires must be strong in order to withstand weathering and remain durable despite heavy use. It must also be conductive in order for electricity to freely flow through the metal and reach its destination. Steel has a high strength but a low conductivity, whereas copper is the inverse. By combining the two, copper-clad steel can perform both functions by utilizing the strengths of each metal.
3. What Are the Benefits of the Copper-Clad Steel?
The benefits of using copper-clad steel are numerous. Because of the steel content, CCS wires have high mechanical and tensile strength, and material fatigue from use is minimal. The copper prevents corrosion in the steel and the wire as a whole, allowing the wire to last much longer, even if it is constantly used. Copper is also highly conductive, which means that electricity can easily flow through the wire. The majority of CCS wire manufacturers use copper that is 20% to 40% conductive, making it a versatile wire.
