APPLICATION:
Solid Bare Copper Wire, an uninsulated electrical conductor comprising a single strand of copper, is predominantly used for grounding electrical systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Its high conductivity enables it to effectively dissipate excess current into the earth, preventing hazards. Beyond grounding, it finds application in overhead power transmission and distribution lines for shorter spans, and as bus bars or internal components in electrical switchgear for carrying large currents.
CONDUCTOR:
Solid bare copper conductors available in soft, medium- hard, or hard temper.
