Copperweld® CCS Conductors for

Transmission & Distribution

Harden your grid

A stronger, more reliable grid starts at its most vulnerable points.

From buried grounding networks and substation grids to pole grounds and transformer connections, critical conductors across the transmission and distribution system must withstand decades of mechanical stress, fault events, corrosion, severe weather and environmental exposure. When these conductors fail, the effects can extend well beyond the point of failure — compromising equipment, interrupting service and requiring costly repairs.

Copperweld Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) conductors are engineered for these demanding environments. Copperweld’s metallurgically bonded copper cladding protects the high-strength steel core while providing the electrical performance and corrosion resistance required for long-term reliability. Above and below ground, CCS reinforces critical points across the grid with the combined advantages of copper and steel.

With more than a century of bimetallic expertise, Copperweld engineers grounding and distribution solutions built for long-term reliability in demanding utility environments.

Built stronger where reliability matters most

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

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

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.
