Copper-clad steel (CCS) wire is a bimetallic conductor composed of a steel core with an outer layer of copper metallurgically bonded to it.
This combination leverages the high tensile strength of steel and the excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper.
Applications:
Grounding Systems: Used in substations and power installations for grounding purposes, providing a reliable path to earth .
Telecommunications: Employed in telephone drop wires and coaxial cable conductors, benefiting from the combination of strength and
conductivity .
