Copper Clad Steel Wire (CCS)

CCS wire is an extraordinary conductor that provides benefits that neither metal can provide alone. Because the bulk of the current travels along the wire's skin, it is ideally suited for high-frequency applications.
Stranded DSA Copper Clad Steel conductors are used for buried ground grid systems where a more economical alternative to copper conductors is desired.
For Utility Applications, Copper Clad Steel is used in substation and generation plant ground grids; grounding of metal fences; and in building and structure lightning protection systems.
Copper Clad Steel is tough to cut and unlike copper conductors has virtually no scrap recovery value thus reducing the potential of theft or vandalism of the grounding wire.
