Copperweld® Power Grid

Wired to Protect

Grid reliability depends on more than delivering power. It depends on protecting the infrastructure that keeps it flowing.

From grounding networks beneath substations and renewable energy sites to critical connections across transmission and distribution systems, Copperweld® Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) conductors are engineered to strengthen and protect the grid where reliability matters most.

For more than a century, Copperweld has combined the electrical performance and corrosion resistance of copper with the strength and durability of steel to create conductor solutions built for demanding utility environments. The result is stronger, longer-lasting infrastructure designed to reduce theft incentives, maintain reliable grounding and stand up to the mechanical and environmental stresses facing today’s power grid.

Built stronger where reliability matters most

Superior Strength
Copperweld CCS combines copper with a high-strength steel core that resists stretching, breakage and deformation under mechanical and thermal stress, helping critical conductors maintain their integrity in demanding grid environments.

Long-Term Reliability
Engineered to withstand decades of mechanical and environmental exposure, Copperweld CCS helps grounding and distribution systems maintain dependable performance through changing conditions, severe weather and other stresses across the grid.

Corrosion Resistance
Copperweld CCS conductors use copper thickness and metallurgical bond integrity that exceed ASTM standards to help protect the steel core and maintain conductor integrity over time in demanding environments.*

Reduced Theft Incentives
With a rugged steel core and lower scrap value than solid copper, Copperweld CCS helps reduce theft incentives at substations, poles and remote or unmonitored installations.

Purpose-Engineered Performance
From high-strength grounding and flexible substation conductors to covered transformer riser wire, Copperweld applies CCS technology to the specific electrical, mechanical and environmental demands found across transmission and distribution systems.

Service life varies based on soil conditions, installation environment, and exposure factors. Underground performance may be impacted by soil chemistry, pH, moisture, and circulating currents. These conditions influence the performance of all grounding conductor materials, including copper and CCS.
