ArcAngel^™

Flexible Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) Conductor for Demanding Utility Applications

Premium substation grounding

ArcAngel^™ is engineered for easier installation, high fault performance, and proactive maintenance in complex grounding layouts.

ArcAngel^™ is Copperweld’s high-strand-count CCS conductor, engineered to bend easily during installation while combining the electrical performance and corrosion resistance of copper with the strength of steel. With an optional ground fault indicator strand that supports faster inspection and maintenance visibility, ArcAngel^™ helps utilities keep critical grounding systems performing for decades. Flexible and durable, ArcAngel helps utilities strengthen critical infrastructure from the ground up.

Features and Benefits:

Increased Flexibility – High strand count improves ease of installation without sacrificing strength, simplifying routing through congested substation layouts.

Improved Electrical Performance – Ground fault performance equivalent to copper, with greater mechanical durability for demanding utility grounding applications.

Ground Fault Indicator Strand – Optional fault-identification strand changes color when a fault occurs, helping crews quickly identify damage and simplify maintenance.

Superior Strength – With the strength of steel, CCS resists stretching, breakage, and deformation under mechanical and thermal stress.

Reduced Theft Incentive – With a rugged steel core and lower scrap value than solid copper, CCS helps reduce theft incentives in remote or unmonitored locations.

Corrosion Resistance – ArcAngel^™ is engineered to deliver long-term performance in harsh environments, supporting extended service life in buried and exposed grounding applications.
