"Engineered for superior flexibility and high-capacity grounding, this 1/0 19-Strand Bare Copper wire is a premium solution for demanding electrical systems. By utilizing a 19-strand concentric-lay design, this conductor offers significantly better pliability than standard 7-strand wire, making it the ideal choice for complex conduit runs and high-performance grounding grids."
When installation space is tight and reliability is non-negotiable, 19-strand construction is the preferred choice. It provides the same massive cross-sectional area as standard 1/0 wire but with an optimized strand count that simplifies handling and improves connection integrity.
Enhanced Flexibility: 19 individual strands allow for tighter bends and easier routing in switchgear and transformer pads.
Superior Surface Area: Increased strand count provides more surface area, which is highly beneficial for high-frequency lightning dissipation.
Soft-Drawn (Annealed) Copper: Heat-treated for maximum workability, ensuring the wire stays where you bend it.
Industrial Durability: Uninsulated and naturally corrosion-resistant for permanent direct burial or outdoor applications.
Conductor Size: 1/0
Construction: 19-Strand
Temper: Soft-Drawn (Annealed)
Material: Bare Copper (Uninsulated)
Overall Diameter: 0.373 inchesÂ
Approx. Weight: 325.8 lbs per 1,000 ft
DC Resistance at 20ºC: 0.10020 Ohms/1000 ft.
Rated Strength: 3,221 lbs.
Standards: ASTM B-3, ASTM B-8, Federal Spec QQ-W-343.
Commercial Service Grounding: Connecting large service panels to grounding electrodes.
Substation Grids: Primary conductor for interconnected grounding mats and ring grounds.
Exothermic Welding: Preferred for permanent Cadweld connections in industrial infrastructure.
Lightning Protection: Dissipating high-energy surges in commercial and utility-scale systems.
Industrial Power: Reliable grounding for high-vibration machinery and motor frames.

Yes. 1/0 bare copper is a standard choice for grounding electrode conductors (GEC) on large commercial services. It is specifically designed to handle the significant fault currents associated with high-amperage systems. Always verify your specific requirements against NEC Table 250.66.
1/0 is the next size larger than 1 AWG. In the American Wire Gauge system, "0" (aught) sizes are larger than "1." 1/0 copper has a higher ampacity and a larger cross-sectional area, making it better suited for higher-capacity grounding systems and larger service entrances.
Yes. 19-strand bare copper is perfectly suited for exothermic welding. The tighter strand configuration allows for a clean, consistent weld that is the standard for permanent utility grounding grids.
Electrically, they are similar, but 19-strand offers more total surface area. In grounding and lightning protection, more surface area is generally better for dissipating high-frequency surges. Additionally, its flexibility makes it less likely to develop stress points in high-vibration industrial environments.
Yes, our 1/0 stranded bare copper meets ASTM B-3 (soft/annealed) and ASTM B-8 (concentric-lay-stranded) standards. These are the benchmarks required by utility companies and industrial engineers to ensure the copper is of the highest purity and structural integrity.
Yes, our 1/0 19-strand copper is annealed (soft drawn) to maximize the natural flexibility of the 19-strand design, making it the most user-friendly 1/0 conductor for field installation.
