copper clad steel

.Good corrosion resistance of copper .High tensile strength of steel .Much lower impedance at high frequencies

Aplication:grounding,union of ground rods to metallic structures,meshes,substations,power installations and lighting arrestors.This material has proven its aptitude for these purpose.More than 60 years of installations all around the world certify the excellence of this type of installation.

Because the outer layer of the condutor is low-impedance copper-clad RF transmission lines impedance at high AC frequencies similar to that of a solid copper conducter.

Tensile strengh of copper clad steel conductors is greater than that of ordinary copper conductors permitting greater span lengths than with copper.

Another advantage is that smaller diameter copper clad steel conductors may be used in coaxial cables,permitting higher impedance and smaller cable diameter than with copper conductors of similar strength.

Due to the inseparable union of the two metals,it is theft-resistant,since copper recovery is impractical and thus has very little scrap value.Thus the frequent thefts common with pure copper conductors are avoided.

Installations with copper clad steel conductors are generally recognized as fulfilling the required specifications for a good ground.For this reason it is used with preference by utilities and oil companies when cost is a concern.
