APPLICATIONS
Used for overhead electrical transmission and distribution lines, grounding electrical systems, electrical test equipment and other infrastructure.

CONSTRUCTION
Conductors: Solid bare copper conductors available in soft temper only.
Tin Coating: A soft drawn conductor is either hot dipped or electroplated with tin. This process significantly improves corrosion resistance.


STANDARDS
  • ASTM B3 - Soft or annealed copper wire
  • ASTM B33 - Tinned Soft or Annealed copper wire
Notes
Dimensions and weights are nominal values, subject to standard manufacturing tolerances. Conductor ampacities are in accordance with the NEC, latest edition.
