Safety Assurance
To guarantee safety, the National Electrical Code (NEC) has been adopted by law in every U.S. state. Copperweld Cu-Clad conductors have been fully recognized by the NEC since 1972. What's more, Copperweld products are Safety Listed and Performance Tested by Nationally Recognized Test Labs (NRTLs)
Theft Deterrence
Copper theft is an epidemic. It not only increases the cost of the project, it creates a safety hazard by damaging circuit components and equipment. Because of its unique metallurgy, Copperweld offers zero scrap value to dealers. With Copperweld, crime literally does not pay, so thieves quickly learn to leave it.
Energy Efficiency
When installed by the guidelines established by the National Electrical Code, Copperweld conductors offer a minium of 7% higher energy-efficiency than standard wiring. More efficient wire means less energy loss during usage, and thus lower power bills. Over the long haul, every dollar saved on power is a dollar earned!
